good build?

[mandia]

hello guy. i need some opinion from yours.
its this good to build a pc with half gaming(Need For Speed)??
price around 1200 usd without monitor.

Window 7 64-bit
Intel Core i7-950 3.06Ghz Processor
ASUS Sabertooth - X58 Chipset
Built-in Gigabit LAN, 8-Channel High Definition Audio
ASUS EN460GTX PCI-E 1GB DDR5 256bit
Kingston 2GB KVR1333 DDR3 RAM x3 Sticks (will add 2gb more)
WD Blue 1TB 32MB SATA3 (6Gb/s) Hard Disk (wht HDD is better?)
LG 22x DVD Writer (SATA)
Tinytech All in 1 USB Card Reader - SDHC Support
Sonic Gear EVO 5 Platinum Multimedia Speaker
Logitech Wireless Combo MK260
Cooler Master Elite 371 Gaming Casing
Cooler Master 500W eXtreme Power Plus - OEM

My research should be work.
Tell me if i should change this or remove some part above(from your opinion i do not need to buy it because waste money).

thanks

Good computer but WAY over kill.

I would avoid going for an X58 build at this moment in time. P67 would be much better for you. What is the resolution of your monitor?

 

[scbjmshpv]

indeed way overkill for NFS, i love the game myself and still play it, but like spesh said, go with p67, they run much better (not faster but better) at their top end compare to 1366 top end products.

for mother board i would suggest looking at others as they've good feature, though i hate MSI as their manuals are honestly worthless.

for performance get WD black edition HD, for couple of more dollars you'll be at much better performance than blue drives.

for the power supply i would suggest something bigger least 750 watts, as in future upgread you can use the more power. as this will be one of the most important thing and you can use it for future upgrades. (on new system build many pc builder use same case and PSU and sell the rest of the parts)

@Spesh
i not decided wht resolution will i take..have idea?

so, i will upgrade HDD to WD BE, mainboard to x67, PSU to 750 W

have any link that can i make as reference?

 

[mandia]

@Eugen
not really. If i convert to USD, the value will be like that. but in my country
it still in good price and worst to buy.

HDD - Seagate seems cheaper

DVD burner - get 24x

Speakers - no knowledge of the brand. no comment

Case - here are some other you can consider. Simply because they have more case fans at similar price.

[mandia]

any comment about my spec??

btw,its ok if i use monitor Samsung 2253LW 22"(actually 21.6) 2ms?

some question. ti build a desktop, did i need to buy bios and headsink to?

 

[wolfeking]

BIOS is included in the motherboard. The processor will include a HeaTsink, but you will need a 3rd party heatsink if you plan to overclock.
