First time gaming rig - spec needs double check!

Is there anyways you could make this more effective without making more money spent? Or make cheaper with better quality? Will all of the components fit together and work together? I dont want to purchase something that doesnt fit. Also is the graphics card any good or is nVidia brand better? any reccomendations for them? 1 more thing, the case i wanted needs to have a window side panel but i cant find one thats cheap, i was looking at the CM690 ii Lite, but i need a psu with it for less then £85, or if theres another decent case that comes with a psu thats cheaper than the one above?

Don't buy a case+PSU combo. A Corsair TX650 is what I recommend. The case itself is fine though.
Your mobo should be either an Asus P67 or Z68. If you want the onboard video of the H67 get the Z68. Swap the GSkill memory for Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, or ADATA. Swap the hard drive for a Western Digital Caviar Black 6 Gb/s 64 mb cache. Everything else looks good.

I don't like the CX series Corsair, I don't like H67 chipset boards, and I don't like Samsung hard drives. I'm not going to suggest alternatives because they cost more, unless you are willing to downgrade the CPU.
Do not buy a single ram module, buy a dual channel kit. |
