Hello All,
This is my first time trying to build an adequate gaming PC on a budget.
I currently have a stock HP Pavilion a1630n with the exception of the GeForce 9600 GT I have in it. I am basically looking to upgrade my whole rig.
Currently this is what I'm thinking of buying:
COOLER MASTER Storm Scout - 89.99
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz - 229.00
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus (Heat Sink) - 29.99
Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 - 51.99
ASUS M4A88T-V - 109.99
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Power Supply - 69.99
And as far as the hard drive I plan on reusing the one I have in my Pavilion.
For the graphics card I plan on using the 9600 GT I currently have.
Total Cost: 580.95
I would like to receive some feedback on this setup. And suggestions or opinions would help. And being that it is my first build I would appreciate it if someone could confirm that the above items are compatible.
Thanks a lot!
