Build opinions

Hey , new guy here, i know i maybe should have came here before buying my stuff but its too late, it's already been ordered.

So can you guy give me your tought about the stuff i just ordered? I usually use my computer to play games and browse the net. I wanted something with decent performance that didnt cost too much. Also i had a couple of stuff that was still usable from my old computer, i didnt have to buy all the new parts for a computer.

So here it goes:

-Logitech G9 Laser Gaming Mouse
-Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
-OCZ SLI 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz X2
-BFG GeForce GTS 250 OC 512MB PCIe w/Dual Link DVI
-EVGA nForce 750i SLI Socket 775
-Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93Ghz 3M 1066Mhz

i also added some thermal paste and a cooling thingie, for about 950$canadian taxes and shipping included.

Does it seem allright for the price, should have i grabbed something different?

Or maybe is something a really bad choice?


Thanks for the input!

eh, all the parts are pretty decent, but $950 sounds WAY too high. i would say more like $500, if even.

Every thing looks good. Then only thing you did wrong was the CPU your over paid for it. You could have gotten a triple or quad core AMD for the same price.

Sorry man...little too high

Yeah, I agree. Parts are pretty good, but I priced everything out and came up to roughly shy $600 USD. Any chance you can cancel the order to save a couple hundred? Check out bizrate or pricewatch for some decent pricing information.

I would go for Phenom II 720/ Phenom II 550 with 4850...
Just like this one...
