New gaming pc
After 3 rrod from my xbox360 I've decided to build a new pc for my gaming.As I've never done this before I wanted to run this by you guys and see what you thought. Now going of the materials required list I think i got everything but If I'm missing something I'm sure someone will let me know.Before anything know that I am on a little bit of a budget so this stuff may not be top of line.Upgrades can and will happen later,I'm just looking for something stable that can run most games at the moment.
Also before any suggestions please give your opinion on the system first as I have gone over my budget and do not want to dump alot more money into it at this moment. This will cost me $873.85 before rebates(only 40 dollars worth).

The heart of a gaming computer is the Video card. The 4850 is a good card but I would cut back down on the CPU to an E8400 or even an E7600, ditch the CPU cooler, standard coolers are just fine and get the ATI 4890 instead.
Samsung Optical Drives are no good, look into Lite-On, LG or Sony. Everything else you listed is quality. Good luck

Like Khalil said, avoid open box motherboards.
The other p5q pro you linked to would be good. |
