the case is fine, but don't buy that psu or 2 gpu's, you'll be wayyy better off with a single 6950 or gtx570 or somewhere in there, and for the psu that's not a good brand as far as i know, corsair/antec/xfx/pc power and cooling/silverstone/seasonic and a 650w would be better, look at like the corsair tx650

Yeah, your mb change was a downgrade. With more $ I would have gotten the 6950 2gb but not changed(or upgraded) the mb. And 2x4GB RAM with a little better timings. Your ok with the RAM you got, just what I woiuld have done. And better yet, an SSD.

I would wait a week or two and see what BD throws at us, or if you have more money and want to buy now, you cant beat Sandy Bridge.

budget build guys..
the motherboard was because with the package deal it came with it was some 65 dolars cheaper than the 970.
the ram is fast enough for playing one game at a time.. seens as i never multitask really lol.
and i dont NEED a SSD. lol.


But that motherboard still has 2x PCI-E x16 ports.
so i can dual-card if i want to..

And regarding the GPU 1gb was enough for me lol

I would at least choose something that gives you an upgrade path. It might seem like worth saving a few bucks now, but you will be annoyed with yourself later.

Yes it will, but very CPU intensive games (e.g. Starcraft II and Battlefield 3) will suffer from that CPU>
