Hi guys I need help on picking out the components on my first rig. I've upgraded computers in the past but this is going to be my first from scratch. I plan to use this computer for mid end gaming, light video editing, and media. I would prefer to stay with intel and nvidia cpu/gpu. I also prefer microcenter because its nearby so i wouldnt have to pay shipping but i'm also ok with newegg and tigerdirect
My price point is roughly around $600 Things i'll be recycling from my old computer 22' moniter keyboard/Mouse CD/DVD drive Operating system(windows 7 in the future) Speakers Wifi adapter New Parts Intel Core i5 750 Processor $150 http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0317379 GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 $110(see note below) http://microcenter.com/single_produc...uct_id=0318192 BFG GTS 250 1gb $150 http://microcenter.com/single_produc...uct_id=0308087 Western Digital Caviar 640GB $69 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=640gb%20blue Ram unsure approx $80 Power suppy unsure $? Case $? Total $559+ I also have an unopened Intel e5300 cpu and a ASUS P5QPL-VM EPU mobo that i plan on returning, if you think either of those would substitute well into my build let me know I read reviews on the motherboard(the one in the list) saying that a large gpu would block the second pci slot. if true would that mean that my wifi card wouldn't fit?
