Tell me what you think of these parts.

This is pretty much right at your budget. I went with AMD and chose a graphics card that blows the 7850 away. I cut some of the storage down too.

I agree that PSU is a rip off on price. You can pick up a 650w gold rated seasonic for that price or less. Hell no to both of the PSU's, though. Raidmax and Coolmax are junk.

OP, what is your total budget?

 

My total budget is $1100.

 
My total budget is $1100 or less i could probably put $100 to $150 o to my top amount but that would be pushing it on my budget. Can you tell me some good parts that would go in that price range that would still do good on the gaming level. This is my first computer so could u explain some of what your talking about.
 


What does ssd mean?
