http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020 You don't need 800 watts, drop down to the CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 for $89.99 and put the extra 30 bucks into a better GPU.

Like a ASUS EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2 Radeon HD 6850 $149.99

You will get MUCH better performance and 500 watts is plenty for that build.

Other then that looks good.

we need the budget and when you are going to buy this

apologies, just added my budget, trying to stay around 700. And there were a few reviews on that GPU you posted alderron that said it died in about a week, should i not worry about that?

 

[boulbox]

go with the 6850 it is a lot better trust me on that, or you can go with a 460 SC that can play a few games at a decent setting

HDD: get this one instead saves you a ton

go less on the case i recommend a $50 case such as Antec or Cooler Master

RAM: save some money and go with these

PSU: if it really is a super tight budget all you will need is a 500W supply

i like Seasonic much better. it is your choice to choose if you want to save more money or if you want a safer power supply

 

[Ckoski18]

thanks a lot boulbox! That HDD and optical drive combo saves a bunch and same with the ram. Also your links to the cases arent working for me. I havent really decided for sure on a case but i think youre right, ill probably go with a cheaper one

 

[Ckoski18]

Ok im about to purchase it all, any final mods? Also could someone recommend me a wireless card or something so i can get wireless internet?

 

[Ckoski18]

Bump, need a final check!

if you want a case over/around $100 i recommend getting a 500R

it has a nice finishing white, USB 3.0, and a multi channel fan controller
