Ok, so I am new to building computers, and handling hardware altogether. I'm going to have some help from my brother who has built a few computers before by himself, and I haven't consulted him about anything that is going in it yet. I've been searching around Newegg and these forums for ideas of the best components I need to get, and this is what I have so far:
Case: GIGABYTE gz-ph1a3 Black SGCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (I'm not looking to change this unless absolutely necessary)
Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor ADX630WFGIBOX
Graphics Card (UPDATED): SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100283VX-2L Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card w/ Eyefinity
DVD Drive: ASUS Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E818A6T/BLK/B/G (Cheapest one I could find. Had great reviews, so why not?)
I am aware that I might be missing some stuff, and some of it can be improved.
So what do you guys think? My goal is to get the best stuff I can get while keep the cost well bellow $1000. I do a lot of gaming, and will definitely be doing some word processing for school.
Anyone have some ideas about Hard Drives and RAMs? I am going to use Windows 7 as my operating system.
