New Build! Please Review!

[rjlee]

Hey guys,

I have decided to switch over from console gaming to pc gaming. It seems a lot funner and plus my console games are getting boring. I think my build is pretty good so far. I am trying to stay under the $600 price range. I am also buying a wireless usb adapter separately. I am also counting tax. That's why I went with the GTX 650 ti instead of the 7850. I am planning to buy on Newegg.

Thank you for your help!

Thanks Sumukh! Will all the parts work together? Will everything fit in the case?

 

[rjlee]

Should I upgrade my CPU to a i3-3220, or upgrade my gpu to a 7850?

I would upgrade the gpu to the 7850, if what you are going for is gaming performance.

Ok thanks! Will the cpu bottleneck it?

The cpu should be just fine but there is always room for an upgrade

One last question, will I be able to install a pci wireless network adapter with my graphics card on the motherboard?

yep that's a feature on most motherboards now, I just checked yours to make sure though

Everything would fit nice.

Would be better if you can get a 7850.
