Hi, this is my first time posting on OCF, i've visited a few time before reading threads and expanding my ever growing knowledge of computing. As the title says im building a new computer, i have a budget of about $1100 at this time and this is what a friend and i have come up with.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157264 - that's the motherboard i plan on going with.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341041 - this is my power supply, OCZ 750w, i'm not afraid to get extenders if need be, reviews stated the cords can be a tad short.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 - going with an intel i5 2500k sandy bridge, it's got more than enough power for my gaming needs.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231445 - im going with G. Skill Ripjaws x series 8gb ddr3 1600 RAM, its a brand i trust and a good price for the ram.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533 - 1tb western digital sata drive, i'm getting this because.. i need an HDD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103089 - here the cpu cooler im going with. a Cool Master V6
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160 - the tower i am getting is a cooler master HAF 932, solid case and a good brand.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204 - DvD drive i plan on buying (in case someone actually cares)
and i'll be buying win7 home edition 64-bit OEM from Newegg as well.
i already have a graphic card from my older computer an nvidia geforce 9800gt 1gb card, it is good enough for my current needs and purposes, reason i am holding off on the purchase of a newer card is because a few friends tell me to wait for the 600 series card this mid/late winter.
SO, in general i need some backup! a few voices to look at what i've got lined up and tell me what i am doing wrong/right. this system will be strictly for gaming by the way, i don't plan on any photo/video editing.
Tell me what you think!
