Better go with an ATI video card, ATI is made by AMD. This card Here is far superior and has 2GB memory for less money. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102826
Spend the difference on this faster Hard Drive instead of the one you listed http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136320

You don't have a Power Supply listed. The one graphics card that Khalil linked to requires a "MINIMUM" of 500W. Very good deal on CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139005
I'm not real fond of Sony optical drives because you never know who'd making them. I prefer LG & Lite-On. |

A 320GB Seagate costs the same amount. You should probably get the larger capacity since it is free.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148316 However, you can get a 500GB Seagate for $5 more. Personally I would do that. If you start loading a lot of newer games on your PC they will eat up your hard drive space very quickly. For example, Crysis takes up 6 GB of space, Call of Duty 4 takes up 6.5GB, Need for Speed Undercover takes up 5.8GB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148395 Quote:

That link doesn't say it comes with a power supply, and even if it did, it might not be a quality one.
Your best bet is getting that Corsair 650.

It does not come with a power supply - the power supply is optional and the ones they offer are poor quality. Order it without a power supply and get the Corsair separately.

I can't tell you specifically if that's a good one or not, although I rather think it isn't. I can tell you this: the power supply is an extremely important component and is not something to skimp on. The better ones do cost a little more, but remember: the rest of the system is riding on the power supply. Although you need to have one with enough wattage, the brand is just as important. Good luck with the build, hopefully someone can point you to a good PSU.

The one thing you do not want to skim on is the Power Supply, hands down that is the most important component in the Computer. If you have to cut back on anything don't cut back on the power supply.
Here is a power supply that is reasonably priced and will give you years of good service. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139005 $69 after the rebate. |
