First Build please help

[campbell22]

So im wanting to build a good gaming computer just kinda on a budget this is what ive came up with.

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=13978429


Will this be compatible and run everything to throw at it?

For gaming I would swap out the 2500k for the 2400 and use the money saved to get a hd 6870. 1600mhz RAM ruins your CPU warranty. Other than that, it seems compatible. I also think for a 6870 you need to pcie connectors but I am not sure.

Nice build bro. Here's my suggestions.

SSD: defiantly check out getting an ssd. Will help you computer load programs much faster than a HDD

RAM: check out G.Skill Ram...same price but great gaming ram.

Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908 Much better for the price.

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B $44.99

Same specs and price but it matches your board.

OR: as the above poster noted.. Gskill this is the new hotness from them

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231546

G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-8GAB $44.99

Its also low profile to help with fitting around large heat sinks.

Its a great build you have listed. Just a few small opinions of mine. If prices and rating is the same then why Not buy matching parts.. XD Have fun building

Dude stop it I'm already drooling... XD

Haha

Good build, you can always add a second 6850 and a after market cooler down the road. But for under 1000 with a OS thats SMOKING..

Also that's the EXACT ram i have. just looked into my case to confirm it. Good stuff

There are same ones you showed first. Definitely get a 6870 it's 20% faster than a 6850. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150561

With MIR the 6870 is $5 cheaper than the 6850.
