I attempting to build my first gaming build. After some pretty extensive research of building I came to a website that helps me select my the correct parts (I think?). So here it is.

What do y'all think? Its roughly a $700 build. Just in my price range. I would love some opinions or suggestions, but I budgeting a build around $700 or less.

Edit: Built two--using comments

Still taking opinions and suggestion on either build 1 or build 2. Please refer to which one now. Thanks a bunch.

Edit Again: Builds w/ just different GPU cards making a final decision soon!

@FinneousPJ: If you mean my last post(or any of mine before that) it probably has to do with me adding a forced carriage return at the end of lines.

I had the same problem in the hardocp forums until someone corrected me. If I can just keep typing and let the system wrap text then I'll do that.

I am currently at 1152x864 so the way my posting and editing boxes look to my may appear different to you at a lower or higher res.

I am using firefox and have shrunk things a bit which helps a lot.

@Ags 1: Although you've been a member of tom's forums longer, I guess I've had more time to read and post(looking for work right now and rocking a
circa y2k geforce 2mx gpu atm so replaying some of my older games is not the most appealing thing). If I can't find work atm I can at least spend time
trying to help folks get the best deals when buying: individual parts, a few upgrade parts, or everything for a totally new build. In the short time since I
started posting here, I think I've learned quite a bit(there's always more to learn, though). Maybe if I get a job soon and can upgrade or replace my pc
I will end up spending less time posting and more time gaming(though hopefully not so much time gaming that it interferes with work as it has in the
past for me). I have checked the stats of some other posters with higher ranks than me and don't know how they do it( especially if they have a job,

Edit: inserting a wedge into the wall of text to make things a bit easier to read(I hope).

wife/girlfriend and kids. I have none of those things). All I do lately(besides look for work) is try to keep up on the latest in cpus and gpus and read
and post on here. I also sing in my church's choir almost every week and on the worship team about once a month. Sis has 2 jobs and mom is living at
a nursing facility in an isolated part of town(no car so I have to take bus which gets me most of the way there but not all the way). Donate plasma 2x/wk.
Missed my appt. today cuz I haven't pulled myself off the forum long enough to shower, shop for lunch ingredients and take the bus to get there. Will
have to reschedule. Probably won't make it to see mom in the hospital today, either(another remote part of town requiring a long bus ride and a lot of
walking. She has recently hit a rougher patch than normal). Don't know why I spilled my guts but there you go. I should probably eat something soon.

Sorry if the majority of this post is considered as hijacking the thread. Not my intent. Maybe If I wanted to address these 2 directly I could have PMed em
(may have been unwanted/unchecked) but they are both probably watching the thread so I put this stuff here. Sorry. Will try not to do like this in future.
 

Yeah, you should stop that, it does wrap automatically everywhere.
