Hey guys I'm new to the forum! I have done a pretty wealthy amount of research and am going to build a computer for gaming (mostly SC2) as well as browsing and my music. Here is a list of what components i have. I think i have them all but any input/help is much appreciated. My budget is around 800- 900 dollars.

While the Black HDD is a good HDD it's not much faster than the Samsung F3 and the F3 is cheaper.

GTX 550 TI is a good choice for a card. If you've got some extra cash It would be worth looking into a Radeon 6850.

Cooler Master isn't a good brand for a PSU. If you're not planning on doing SLI or Crossfire then one of these would be a good choice.

If you wanted to save some money you could go with a CAS rating of 9 rather than 8. You probably wouldn't notice much performance decrease, if any. Put that extra money towards a better GPU or CPU.

This CPU will allow for better OCing. Same thing just with an unlocked multiplier.

don't forget to grab an oem 64-bit windows disk so you can play the game. also would take mihir's build and add a ocz (i think) vortex 2 ssd, put windows on it and you'll get almost 1/2 your boot time on the f3

It's professional, not ultimate. I got the same thing in my current computer. But the difference between ultimate and pro are minimal.
