If you plan on adding another video card later, it would be better to get a higher watt power supply. Your current setup is about 380watts, and adding another video card brings it to 580 watts (according to PcPartpicker).

I know you're on a budget so you could get those 2x4=8gb memory now, and maybe add another 8 gb later.

If it were me, I would spend a little more and get a 128 or 256gb SSD, and add a 1TB HDD later. The solid state drives are so much faster than regular hard drives.

oki..thanks a lot!!!

 

[brandon402]

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any more questions. A 128gb solid state drive is a good size to put Windows and some games/programs on if you intend to buy a hard drive later. Personally I decided to go with 256gb ssd and I might not need to buy a regular hard drive for a long time. Unless you download and store lots of videos, those take up lots of hard drive space, but I just watch videos through streaming internet (netflix, amazon prime). Check to see if your SSD comes with a 3.5 to 2.5 inch mounting bracket. If it doesn't you'll need one of those but they are only a few dollars/pounds. It's so you can mount the SSD in your case's 3.5 in hard drive bay.

 

[andreas_vak]

yeah one more question.....the case is it big enough for the system??and for the future where i'll probably CROSS.....

 

[brandon402]

Yes the case is big enough, I read an amazon review of it where the guy was using 2 graphics cards, so doing Crossfire down the road should not be a problem.

The 256gb version also has double the write speed of the 128.

if you could answer me one last question....do i need anyhing else because i'm going to build it my self..i mean like wires or anything at all...really need an answer

 

[brandon402]

All the parts will come with the wires/cables you need. You could if you want get some Artic Silver 5 thermal paste, it is supposed to be a little better than the paste that will come with the cpu cooler, but thats totally optional. Make sure you get Windows 7 home premium 64 bit and not the 32 bit.
That's about all I can think of, should be good!
