Hello!
I have never built a computer but have been researching the ins and outs of what will be involved and now feel fairly confident to order the parts.
I am a casual gamer but still want a decent amount of bang for my buck.
I would really appreciate any suggestions, recommendations or improvements to the following build:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition, S AM3, 3.4GHz, 8MB Cache, 125W, Retail
GPU: 1GB Asus HD 6850 DirectCU, 4000MHz GDDR5, GPU 790MHz, 960 Stream Processors, 2x DVI/ HDMI/ DP
RAM: 4GB (2x2GB) Corsair DDR3 XMS3 Classic, PC3-10666 (1333), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-24, 1.50V
MOBO: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3, AMD 760G, S AM3+, DDR3, SATA II - 3Gb/s, RAID SATA, PCIe (x16), Graphics On Board, mATX
Hard Drive: 500GB Hitachi 0F10381 Deskstar 7K1000.C, SATA 3Gb/s, 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, 8.5ms
Case: Coolermaster Elite 335U Black Mini Tower Case with Rear 120mm Fan w/o PSU
PSU: 430W PSU, Corsair Builder Series CMPSU-430CXV2UK, 80% Eff', Uncertified, Quiet Fan, ATX v2.3
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP1, Operating System, Single, - OEM
Disk Drive: Samsung SH-D163C Black, 48x CD-ROM 16x DVD-ROM, SATA, OEM
The disk drive, case, power supply unit and hard drive were selected somewhat carelessly. I understand the 7200rpm will give faster access. Corsair appear to be a reputable make and offer +80% efficiency with the PSU and seem to be popular - although I have concerns that 430W will be sufficient.
Thanks
