I am a first time builder with a low budget. I have been researching for the last few days and came across this economically feasible build.
Motherboard
Asus M4A79XTD EVO Motherboard ($100)
CPU
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Quad Core Processor ($140)
RAM
Corsair XMS3 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 RAM ($50)
Video Card
Sapphire 100283-3L Radeon HD 5770 Video Card ($120)
Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar Black 500 GB ($55)
DVD Burner
ASUS DRW-24B1ST DVD Burner ($25)
Case
Thermaltake V3 Black Edition Mid Tower Case ($35)
Power Supply
Thermaltake TPX-775M Toughpower XT 775W Power Supply ($70)
TOTAL COST: $595 (USD)
I would like to know of any possible problems I would run into with this build and any modifications that could be made. I can spend a bit more than the amount here and thought about switching out the graphics card for the ATI Radeon 6850. Additionally, I would like to know if upgrading parts at a later date would be an easy task.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
