I'm pretty sure these will work great together, I'm just looking for opinions ^.^

All this together (didnt include the DVD drive) is just 620 dollars

Tell me what you think :)

Thanks, Uber

4gb is fine.

650w is overkill. 500w is recommended

Get this 1tb Samsung spinpoint

Get an AM3+ motherboard so you have upgrade options

Get a 955 $105

There is no difference that justifies the $10 increase over the 965.

Get 8gb of ram with money saved or stretch your budget and get a 560ti.
