Hey TH! New build I need a final "go ahead" on!

Looks good.
which geforce is that? I'm assuming gtx580? Get a 660ti instead.
I'd suggest ivy bridge if you can. Otherwise it's solid.

How did i accidently not list it.

Anyways It is a gtx 480. can i get a better one for the same price or just a little bit more? Thanks!

Gtx 660ti or radeon 7870/7950 and for abit less the radeon 7850. They all perform better than or equal to a gtx 480,without it's obscene power requirements (one six pin and one eight pin connector on the psu)

uuh.... for 1250 you can build something MUCH better, here you go:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($215.99 @ NCIX US)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($27.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($109.99 @ NCIX US)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($38.99 @ NCIX US)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($74.99 @ NCIX US)
Storage: OCZ Vertex 4 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($89.99 @ Newegg)

Monitor: Asus VE248H 24.0" Monitor ($154.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $1237.88

in Canada mind you, prices are a fair bit different.

I agree with the above; the OPs build was good but a bit of a mish-mash of older components. For the budget he has, he could get a much better, more modern build.

A couple of points:

I reckon a higher wattage PSU than the above should be used...for a GPU and a CPU which could potentially both be overclocked, you want some headroom.

That motherboard is not SLI-capable, so if the OP is thinking of a multi-GPU setup further down the road, he'd be better served with a 7950 or 7970 as the motherboard can Crossfire...also, if so, see previus point about a PSU and make sure that the wattage is capable of running multi-GPUs, or you'll end up needing to upgrade that later, too!

thanks a lot guys, i suppose my build was a bit out dated! i will definitely keep in mind what you have said!

It was still a reasonable build, just a bit odd for a new build if you bought it today...you've got the grasp of it. Happy to help, it's what we're here for.  

It all looks good, but why the 3570k over the 2600k? What are the benefits?

The 3570K is ivy bridge which is newer than sandy bridge (more features) and uses less power to do the same as the 2600K.

Also, I was including tax in my budget, so I cant affoard the SSD  .

Okay thanks a lot. Definitely going with it.

Also, updated the OP with a link to this build: http://i.imgur.com/o25h0.png

Very nice update there.
Make sure the xfx card has two fans.
There's no need not to have sli,the MSI Z77MA G45 will give you that.

Got it, thanks!
