What's your overall budget? Can you go more or is this your max?

Initial thoughts...
- Everything looks in order and all should work just fine as is. - You'll need to factor in the OS - One potential recommendation... drop the CPU down to a E8400 and the Case to a Cooler Master CM 690. That should save you about $70. You can put that into a better graphics card then. Most folks recommend that gaming rigs go with a higher speed dual core and better graphics card. A quad core is good for multitasking and "future proofing" though... so you may decide that your wish list really is the best thing for you. |
