Sounds good. You think the build is right? and that the case will be cool enough?? im not OCing and its not all that powerful of a pc.

Yep :) Looks good. I kinda wish you'd change the case tho. A bottom mount ps keeps the heat from it, down and out. And the tower from being as top heavy. And that one doesn't have much for cable management, as well as your ps cables will be dangling from the top and you'll have to do something with them,,but what? Just tie the excess in a bunch? If you have a few more bucks, get a better case.
 
725 dollars with shipping. can i cheapen anything seriously in my build? can i get this to 700???

Getting this.

Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Instead of

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Even though its 500gb less. its faster running. (6.0Gb/d INSTEAD OF 3.0 Gb/s) and its 25 bucks cheaper.

And traded out the RAM now im at 725 :-) Anyone want to help me drop 25 bucks from the build ^^^^^^ lol
 
It wouldn't be faster because a mechanical drive can't get up to that fast of speeds, but yes, 1TB is excessive, I think. I always use an external drive for media and internal for games.

would it be a huge deal to drop from the 955 to the 925? that would get me below 700.. what are your thoughts?
Click to expand...

Get the 955. It has 15 bucks off, so in the end the 925 is just 15 bucks cheaper. Plus you will need to buy a cooler for the 925, so in the end it will cost more then the 955 which already has a cooler.

Plus the 955 is unlocked and higher clocked.
 
$704 after the $15 cpu promo, and before the ($40) rebates, and shipping.
