Hello everyone, I am looking to buy some parts on newegg and build a computer for the first time. I want to spend about $800 including a monitor. I am not completely confident in what I am doing so I would like some advice please. Here are the parts that I am considering buying so far. Let me know If I am forgetting anything. I have a mouse and speakers already. I plan to use it for WoW and Eve-Online.

Looks solid to me :good:

Got some nitpicks though:

You can save a bit of dough by going with a Phenom II 955 instead if you want. They hit about the same speeds when overclocking. If you aren't OCing, you can just up the multiplier by 1 and have the equivalent of a 965 without changing any other settings.

For anything above mild overclocking, you might want a motherboard with a beefier power section and some VRM cooling.


If you're spending that much on the PSU, you might as well shell out a little extra and grab one of these:

I'd take the Antec, but both are good.


edit: Do you have a copy of Windows already?

Video card - could consider GTX 460 768MB for similar price

PSU - you won't need 620W for single card.
Antec NEO ECO 520C is cheaper
 
As you want to purchase the parts of the computer because you are going to make as-ambling computer.The Monitor of 18.5inch ,260GB HDD(hard disk drive),2GB RAM,the Intel process,i ball speaker of 2000watts with bass,laser mouse of i ball.All things with 1 year warranty.price costing for this was about $400.
