1200 dollar budget please asses

[rezten]

Looking to spend around 1200 dollars. I have the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. I want the system to be somewhat future proof. I will be doing some overclocking with the cpu. I will be using the computer for gaming.

Corsair Enthusiast Series 750-Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply

Do you have a normal hard drive as well? I love the SSD but it won't do you much good when you can only put 1 or 2 games on it before filling up the space. You also didn't include windows 7 in your cost. Other than that its great.

P.S. You shouldn't call us asses

Pretty good build, the PSU is a bit overkill you could do something like a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017 for $50 after rebate. You don't include $100 for Windows 7, but solid build nonetheless.

Lol I didn't notice the spelling mistake until now

I do have a regular 500g hdd and I have a copy of windows already. Thanks for the input.

Hmm I guess I had not really looked into the psu. I am not really sure how much is needed for a system like mine. Can anyone point me to a site to check out power usage? I also have had quite a bit of trouble with psus in the past, probably due to buying cheap, so I do want a good quality one if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Solid build man. See a lot of Corsair parts there. Almost every part you've picked is in a combo somewhere on Newegg.

It'll probably save you $50+ that way.

Rezten, I found this one for my build just now and it looks good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703027. It has great efficiency, high quality manufacture, and it supports SLI and XFire if you end up wanting to do that.

Lol ya it does seem that I am a bit of a corsair junkie. I endorse two companies evga and corsair their prices may be a bit higher than others, but the products are awesome, customer service is understandable and they know what they are talking about, and the warranties are amazing.

Speaking of warranties the pcu zorphon recommended http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Suggested&Description=17-703 seems pretty nice with a seven year warranty, can anyone verify this is a good company and or product. The reviews seem pretty positive on the site, but its hard for me to give up on a company that has treated me so well .

Yeah, it's pretty solid.
