First time building a computer

[Reppy]

I'm about to attempt to build a gaming computer for about $800

First I was wondering what some of you computer knowledgable folks thought about these for a system.

Well, now you know. Best to keep an index card of the thread hierarchy here at THG. You can print them out, just search.

GPU looks good, PSU looks good, case is bland to me, I suggest the antec super lanboy, I love mine.

Don't get a case with any 80mm fans also. make sure it has 120mm

Agree, also check out the Antec Sonata II. Have 2 of them and really easy to work with, have 120mm fan, and pretty quiet.
