New Build Advice Please

[Kilgore]

Hello,
I'm looking into my second build, but it's been a while since last time. Any advice on whether this build is any good and whether or not it is compatible would be greatly appreciated.

Case

MB


RAM

Hard Drive

Video Card

CPU

Power Supply

The total comes in at around $700. I figure that's not too bad for this build.

That will all work, but I suggest you change the hard drive to this:

Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB ($59.99)

 

[Stoic Sentinel]

I would recommend: this case, better cooling, cheaper, larger, etc. You can check it out yourself.

You could also get this GPU, it's almost the same, just cheaper and made by XFX instead of eVGA. Although eVGA has better tech/customer support, it's your call.

I appreciate the help with this!
So, this would give me a good, quick computer that would be capable of playing most games for a while?

I would also use this card, as the motherboard you chose will Crossfire, so you could add another one later.

XFX Radeon HD 4870 1GB ($144.99)
($124.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate)

You could also upgrade to a Phenom II X4 down the line.

Not a bad build.
