Is this a good built?

I just finished building my first computer and it took me about a month to find good deals for the parts, but is this a good built:


AMD Phenom II X4 Quad-Core Processor 955 Black Edition Boxed: $109.99

Asus M5A87 Socket AM3+ 870 ATX AMD Motherboard: $99.99 - $80 off when bought with compatible processor = 19.99

OCZ Agility 3 60GB SATA 6Gb/s (Will be my primary boot-up drive): $134.99 - $20 rebate = $114.99

8 Gigs Patriot memory: $64.99 - 15% coupon + $20 rebate = $35.25

1.5 TB Hitachi Hard drive 7200Rpm: $50 - 15% coupon = $42.50

Galaxy GeForce GT 430 (Will get another one soon because I have another 20% off coupon): $79.99 - 20% coupon - $40 rebate = $24

Kingston 650 watts Power supply: 44.99 - 25% coupon = $33.74

Random case that looks ok: $10


Total: $390.46

The GT 430 doesn't support SLI, if that's what you were going for. And if you're doing CUDA crunching on two GPUs for some reason, there are much better values out there for that. That, and your mobo seems to only have one PCI-e x16 slot on it. Sure looks like you got a good deal on everything. What are you planning to use it for?

I'm gonna use it for gaming. I want to play games like crysis 2 and battlefield, but I don't really need an amazing graphics card. Just as long it can run the game smoothly at a decent resolution. I wasn't too sure about the parts since it was my first built.

What's your budget? Get a 500w PSU instead and upgrade to a 6870. If that's too much then a 6770. Also there's no good $10 case grab the antec 300 illusion for $60

The motherboard doesnt support SLI either , so a second GT 430 is going to make a fantastic door stop

Its a good build at that price , but for gaming it will need a better gfx card

That is a good build.
However, I suggest you to dump the Kingstone 650W PSU and get a XFX 550W one and spend the extra money on a better GPU.
