I know I could get a cheaper MoBo but I'm looking at upgrading in the future might be getting a i5 2500k or even i7 in the future. I'm not sure if I want a 4GB or 8 ram(What do you think). Do you know if I will be able to use my LED TV as a temp Monitor before I get one? I'm having to get Win7 at bestbuy how hard is it to install. This computer is going to be used for Videos, gaming and light photo editing.


How difficult is it too build a comp, I will have some help.

Tell me what you think! The final price will be around $610 w/o Win7.

yes you can use your tv asa monitor as long as you have the right cable.

What is your budget? I know the build you listed is for 610 but what is your maximum comfort level?

You definitely want 8gb of ram

It's not too hard to build a pc, you just need to be thorough, careful, and have the required knowledge. There are plenty of how to's on this site, as well as all over the internet and youtube.

I'm not a big fan of Cooler Master power supplies , I love thier cases but I would never buy one of thier power supplies. You want to get a 80+ certified bronze power supply at least. Of course silver or gold would be better but I understand if you are budget limited.
I would stay with the 8gb of ram and the install of windows is not hard , just put in the cd and it almost loads itself.
I think everything looks fine except for the psu. When you say that the final price is around $610 is that your budget amount and is there room for adding.

If you , later on were thinking of getting another video card and going with Crossfire you would need the higher watts psu. If you are absolutly sure that you will not be doing that then you could get this psu;

When I said about adding I was refering to using a SSD as the drive for the operating system and then you would use the Seagate for all of your other things , applications , games , storage and backup.

This may be not in your budget but it certianly would make your computer a lot quicker. There are smaller sizes and less exspensive but they tend to fill up quick and a 90gb would give you enough room for updates and one app and one game , the others can go on the Seagate.
I just put that out there just incase you were interested and had the money in your budget to do it.

I really would like it somewhere around 600, if anything NEEDS to be upgraded I gues the price can be changed some. I definitely will be replacing the processor in the future, so I will need a good PSU to handle it.

PSU recommendations?

If I order by next wednesday, I could get this:

It would be about $620 w/ Mail in rebates this would be tops, budget wise.

It is a combo deal so tell me if the CD/ DVD Drive and PSU combo would work for the PC.

This the combo together-

On the PSU page, not the combo it shows that you get a $15.00 Gift card does this still work for the Combo-Deal?

How well do you think the PC will run some mid-high end games?

I really, really don't think I will be going with crossfire, what do you think is better the PSU you suggested or I did?

Is the PSU I suggested SLI or Crossfire?

 

[inzone]

Ok the psu that I suggested is the better psu but the one you suggested is ok , it falls into the middle of the pack and it would not be a bad thing if you were to get it. It does have the 80+ certification and is SLI and Crossfire ready so you are ok there. The combo deal is a good deal and will save you a few bucks.
The performance of the computer in games is dependent on the video card and the selection of the video card is a very important step and you should get as much card as you can afford. The card you chose is the 6870 and is a good card but I think a 6950 would be better , again this comes down to your budget money and what you can afford. I have included a chart from this site that lists the cards in order.

That graphics card is way out of my price range, what graphics card do you think is the best for $150 or if I downgrade something else I guess it could be a bit higher, or is the 6870 the best for my budget. Or would suggest a entirely different build.

 

[inzone]

I guess that it's just your budget that is the problem and you only have a limited amount to work with and there's nothing wrong with that as long as you realize that when it comes to performance you are only going to get what you put into it. I guess I was just trying to get you to where the performance would be really good but it can't happen because you simply don't have the money to work with.
The 6870 is a good card and what you can do is get that card and later on when you save up some money get another.

 

[inzone]

I would try and get the Silverstone 700w so you will have a power supply to go with two cards later if you do decide to go Crossfire. I know you said you most likely won't but if faced with the need of more performance you may.

 

[jcc03]

One last question, will this build work?

I literally have no idea what will work with what thats why I ask, also if I upgraded to a i5 or i7 would I need to upgrade something, same with a graphics card?

Thanks for all the help inzone!

 

[inzone]

Your build is fine and will work , the thing you want to do is settle on the power supply and keep in mind that it doesn't hurt to have extra power but it does if you have too little.
If you intend on upgradeing the cpu then the highest I would go is the i5-2500k , you don't need more then that and it works with all the other parts as well.
If you upgrade to a better video card the same goes that it will work with what you have , except that you want to make sure the power supply is strong enough.
If you took your original list that is on the first page and put the Silverstone 700w instead of the one you listed then you would be able to ghange the cpu to whatever you want (i5-2500k) an not have to change anything else. The same with the video card if you went with the 6950 you would not have to change anything else.
