Okay, I'm absolutely tired of spending oodles
of money on pre-built machines. I have never
had a good experience, ever. Thus, I want to
create my own PC. The problem is.. I don't
want to waste money by buying overkill
software/hardware.I like finding good deals on newegg. Newegg is
amazing.So here's what I want:
-A sturdy sleek looking computer with blue LEDs for show and that
will be somewhat quiet (Not crucial) and be
able to run most/all games I throw at it.
I want a speedy computer that won't keep me
waiting. I'm tired of waiting.(BUDGET: < or equal to $1,100 if possible)
But here is what I've found and put together on
newegg: (these 2 links come together as my
shopping cart currently on newegg)http://i48.tinypic.com/35d6rts.jpg

-Let me know what your opinions are please.
This will be HIGHLY appreciated!

I don't care for the power supply they used but the rest is pretty dandy.
Skip
And this is a rather good set?
Video card and 2.9ghz cpu is pretty good..
You think this will hold up all games?
the article that skipcox gave u should cover ur needs the video card in there is more than enough and the cpu is good it will handle games all of em at good settings
Your budget is good, i recommend core i5 system.
u should also consider wut kuwese wrote a corei5 system is good with a good video card and ram for about 900 dollars
Looking at your lists, there are a few items that you probably do NOT need. Save your money for the important things, these can go: - Arctic Silver
- Sound Blaster sound card
- Zalman CPU cooler
- $70 keyboard?A few items to reconsider:
- the case/HDD combo has a $25 shipping charge, plus the case is WAY overpriced & has WAY too many fans. Don't fall for that "more fans is better" bullsh!t. Not only that, but the case is bottom mounted power supply design.
The Problem of Bottom-Mounted Power
- the Phenom II is designed for DDR2-1066 or DDR3-1333. DDR2-800 will work but you'll be taking a minor performance hit.
- there are plenty of decent SATA DVD burners for about $20, why pay $40 for a DVD-ROM drive?
- there are better video cards to consider as well...GTS 250 or HD 5750 are two possibilities.
If you're going to build a dedicated gaming machine, do it right. And you could build it a lot cheaper too.
