No actually.. It's not.. Lol.

My suggestion:

i5-2500k = 205$
212 EVO = 35$
P8Z68-V LE = 135$
HAF 922 = 90$
WD1002FAEX = 140$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345 = 45$
TX750 = 105$
Mouse/Keyboard = 100$
Crucial 64gb SSD = 90$
Windows 7 OEM = 100$

= 1065$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130768

= 1565$ (a little over..) - coupons.

Thank you for the Suggestion, This is my very first time building a Computer.

 

[gary1]

Yeah if you're gaming, run as far away from AMD cpu's as you can..

 

[Freyman]

So can you only have a SSD or do you have to have a HDD as well with the SSD?

 

[gary1]

You could actually get rid of the SSD if you wanted to, but I like the lightning speed of a SSD. There's no way to have enough space on a SSD for all your stuff, usually people use it as a boot drive as well as for a couple of games, everything else goes on the HDD. You could definitely get a smaller HDD though.

 

[Freyman]

I switched ot a 320GB HDD and Im going to put in a 120GB SSD that is on sale at the moment, would that be a good buy? It would be about the same as the 1TB.

 

[gary1]

What brand?

Also, if you don't think you'll use 320gb then the HDD is fine, but me, I just like to be safe. Maybe a 500gb?

I actually like that mobo a bit better. With the savings from the coupons as well as different hard drives, you can probably hit the 1500 mark.
