[Guest]

Hi, I was looking at building a decent gaming computer and I was looking at these parts:

Would this work? Am I missing anything? Any comments at all would be appreciated - thanks!

You cool get a better Hard drive like the Samsung 1TB F3.
If you get that motherboard then rather get the i5 2500k or i7 2600k.

You'll get better responses if you write what things are below the links...

You could go to a cheaper CPU and a better GPU at the same budget, Agreed on the HDD, at least something 7200RPM

My thoughts:

1) The 2600K is nice, but it costs $100 more than a 2500K which will OC to the same levels.
Games use mostly two cores, or perhaps three. 4 is enough. The extra from hyperthreading will be mostly unused and the value of more cache is unknown.
Better to spend $100 more elsewhere if you are on a budget.

2) Nothing wrong with the P67 motherboard. But, a Z68 based motherboard is not much more.
This motherboard includes a 20gb mlc ssd GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3-iSSD For $229:

3) A 5400rpm drive is not a great performer. Consider a 7200rpm drive instead. Or, use the cache capability of a Z68 chipset and a 20gb hard drive for cache.
Better yet, do both.

4) Other parts, case, psu,ram GTX570 I like. Do you have a dvd burner? only $20 or so.

5) I would get an aftermarket cpu cooler up front. It will keep your cpu cooler and quieter under load. If you OC, you will go higher and easier.
It need not be expensive. Look at the Xigmatek gaia 120mm sd1283 cooler for $30

6) Take the time to download and read the case and motherboard manuals. Many questions will be answered.
