New Gaming Pc (Budget)

It will smoke it. Just don't go any lower with that PSU. Forget CF on that resolution, waste of money. If you want, get a dual PCIe slot mobo, just in case, but don't get the other card unless you have too.

I would be interested in making a computer similar to yours

Ok, this is everything that I ordered for my pc:

These parts were all ordered through tiger direct and new egg.
You could probably just copy and paste the names into google to find the same ones.
Also, I am getting this Pc to play Starcraft 2. My friend, who got a much lower grade pc than me, is able to run it on high. With my particular graphics card and setup, I should easily be able to play on a very high setting. As for FPSs, such as Black Ops, I am not sure what graphics setting it would be on but I would expect it to at least be able to play high.

Honestly forget the logitech speakers, just get some cheap Sennheiser HD201's of newegg.


Everything else looks good.
