Here goes...I'm building a computer for the first time. The last two I've had were both 'hand-me-downs' from my family. I've been reading articles, and doing some research and I've basically found what I want. As far as I can tell everything should work together; however it's a bit out of my price range. If anyone could offer suggestions on how to lessen the price of this a bit while keeping the performance basically the same it'd be greatly appreciated!
I'm buying all my stuff from Newegg, here's the links:
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811213006
Vid Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814150108
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817171001
Cooling: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16835106043
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820141200
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813121288
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819116213
The case comes with a 400W power supply, but it's cheap and only has 17A on the 12V line and there's a lot of complaints about it going dead. Doesn't come with any fans, but has lots of ventilation.
Guess I should state my budget: $1,000 USD. This is about 1027 with shipping.
I also wanted to get a UPS and a surge protector.
I already have a 120g HD, Dual layer DVD-RW, CD-RW, and a monitor.
