Building a new computer and It's my first time so I could really use some input from the community.
Expected Use: Moderate gaming, Starcraft2, Diablo2, some shooters, some HD movies and I'll be getting use out of the blueray player.
Budget: $900-$1000
Monitor: 1980x1200 AOC Widescreen 22in (Single DVI input)
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout
PSU: SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold
M/B: ASRock 890GX PRO3 AM3+
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 970 3.5GHz
RAM: Kingston 4(2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
GPU: HIS IceQ X Turbo H685QNT1GD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
HHD: Seagate 1TB 6gb/s 7200rpm
Disk: Asus Blueray R DVD RW combo
This comes out to about $900 priced on newegg.com
I've got a kb, mouse, and speakers to reuse, but those will be replaced as soon as my wallet recovers
Experience Level: This is my first time picking out pieces and ive been doing crazy amounts of research in the last months. I helped a friend put his rig together but I'm not too worried about that part.
Does anyone have a similar set up? Are the pieces good together. I'm saving up for it so I'll be buying in about a month. Looks like bulldozer is coming out in a few days so ill take a look at the new quad core, but most likely ill just take the discount on my current build.
Thanks in advance!
