Is this a good build for a fast computer?

[hnijhar]

so, im looking to make a very fast computer for home use..

applications: quickbooks 2012, regular internet surfing, downloading files, and photoshop.


right now: im looking at this build.



OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular High Performance
Amd FX 8150
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WU


GPU= will probably be my old asus en8600gt.

The power supply is massive overkill.

The motherboard is overkill. It's for dual GPU gaming systems and will not bring more speed to your workstation build.

This would be a good example of a faster system:

■ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM
■COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1 Black Steel / Plastic Computer Case
■HITACHI Deskstar 7K1000.D HDS721010DLE630 (0F13180) 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
■Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-450 450W Continuous @ 50°C, 80 PLUS GOLD Certified, Single +12V Rail, ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V ...
■G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
■ASRock Z68 PRO3-M LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
■Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 ...
■Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM
■Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
TOTAL: $909.91

Agree with Proximon...the whole system is actually really ineffective, I would never go with an FX CPU unless the build is under $600, and even then the i3 2100 out performs the FX...The 8150 is really ineffective, it seems that what you need is an office computer (with minor tweeks)...I recommend you to check this out:
