[topsaa]

Hi, i'm about to buy parts for my first gaming rig, anyone have any suggestions. I'm not looking to blow lots of money so any suggestions that will stay around this build will be appreciated.

Case Zalman Z11 Plus
Motherboard GA-z68A-d3h-b3
CPU core i5-2500k
RAM 8GB of ram ( havent figured out which one yet, will probs ask sales person)
Video Card EVGA GTX 460 Super clocked
Power Supply antec 620w PSU High gaming current
cooling cooler master 212 plus (me) w/ compound
wireless adap Dlink Wireless N 150
optical drive SH-222AL
i have my own harddrive

any thoughts before i go and buy these parts, the total comes to 727$ , 763$ after tax

- will this system run starcraft 2 on pretty high settings? also guild wars 2 and reckoning kingdoms of amalur.

Thank you very much

It's nice, get g-skill ripjaws, it's pretty cheap and has a heatspreader.

Not much point buying a 460 as it's a dead end. Get a better single card with your SLI budget.
Nice build anyway.

also check out different websites like new egg or tiger direct before you go to your local store. they may charge way higher than these online retailers.

and for 300$ (2x 460s)you can find a better single card system. not all games will take advantage of sli/xfire.
