Looks OK to me. Just be aware of how you're placing the fan on the heatsink. It can get kinda crammed up against the ram. I have a Xigmatek Gaia 120mm and I like it.

sweet thanks.

Do not purchase that power supply - Coolmax is among the absolute worst manufacturers in the industry. Better choice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

Also if you insist on AMD the Phenom II 965 is an infinitely better CPU than the FX-4100 is.

Okay, I made some minor adjustments and it is still under 1000, so i am way happier with that cpu and i feel more confident using the corsair power supply.

Thanks, Much appreciated.

Also what are your thoughts on: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150563

are there better ones out there for around the same price? i have like a 20 dollar window for improvement.

my build is sitting at $979.41 i need to keep it under 1000

If your budget is $1K you could get a way better system, I think I would go for Sandy / Ivy Bridge over a Phenom II any day of the week.

A little bit over but it will give you a way better system - better CPU, GPU, RAM, HD, and especially power supply.

It is actually $40 or so over budget because that microcenter deal is in-store only.

That's one thing about PC Part Picker that drives me crazy because even if you tell it not to give you Microcenter quotes, it still does.

That's why you use BBC Markup to tell you the true story.

See, your build is $37 over budget, but you can just ask OP to extend it since most budgets are broken around here.

Yeah I usually do use that but for some reason it has a real problem with the GPUs I pick - especially the Sapphire cards. Maybe if I used a different brand it would react accordingly.

i was kind of trying to order it all from one store if you know what i mean... newegg.ca would be preferable because i can make a bulk order and maybe save a bit of money in shipping and stuff... do you think i could use the stock cpu cooler and save 34 dollars on the third party cooler? even though i would prefer a name brand cooler i think the extra 34 dollars could be saved for later times (upgrades in the future) if you know what i am getting at. i am liking that graphics card you picked 7870 sounds like a solid upgrade over the 6870... i could also take out the cd drive as i have one in an older build i can integrate into my new build.

Also, how does pc part picker work, do i have to go to those individual sites and order?
