Though it hurts to say it, being a longtime AMD fan (though not fanboy) you are right in thinking Intel is the way go. The system looks fine, all nicely matched. You may want to think of a better CPU cooler than the stock though if you you want to overclock.

LOL???? You need to get out more - no PC case is that funny.

Almost perfect except for the psu which I'm not familiar with. I'd stick with a well known brand. Take a look at others' signatures.

Few changes:

Swap for this powersupply, it'd be futureproof for 1 8800GTS or 1 8800GTX:

And as for your video card, try this. Beats the 7950GT:

Do the rebate, and its even better of a deal.

And the Armor is sick, go for it.

Heya,
I second EnforcerFX on both the PSU and the GPU.

I have the Armor case, and while it's a big, heavy (42#) case, it's roomy and built pretty well.

Good Luck!

Wow I was going to link you to those exact parts.


Also I would go with this case if you're trying to save some cash

And I would go with an E6400 for 100 bucks less.

Also are you planning on overclocking?

 

[TheLaughingMan]

I just wanna say that I love your Topic Title. And to advise to change the PSU to what EnforcerFX said or a trusted higher watts PS

 

[uber_g]

Noober ???






thats a first

 

[imustkill]

You said your case may be too expensive; if you want to slim it down a bit this is the case I bought a month or so ago, and I only have a couple gripes with it.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811166004

It comes with a screwless toolkit, and everything in it works flawlessly except for the PCI lock tool thing. But the screwholes are still there so it's no biggy. Also the fans are loud as **** but I expect that on almost any case.

 

[chuckshissle]

I would suggest that you get E6300 and overclock that, the rest of the money should be for an 8800GTS. Trust me, you'll be more happy with that.

 

[greghouse]

Very good build. I read some user reviews on that PSU, some seem to like it, 64% voted it as excellent.

 

[baddad]

Looks good to me, don't change anything. 😀

 

[al_ummah]

Thnx Guys for all your help! sorry i gota leave class is done lol

 

[thexder1]

I would replace that DVD burner with the lite-on 20X writer for a little less money. Especially since most drives including the one that you picked are lite-on anyways.
