Ok good. Thanks for the help... I should be building this in a few weeks or try to get someone to build it for me :) Also how long do you think the pc will last? (like be able to run high end games? at max graphics?)

If you want to watch Blu-Rays then yeah, if not, then no. :D

If you get one, get a Blu-Ray ROM, don't bother with a burner.

I've got a Samsung one and it's pretty good.

My Samsung one is good (comes with CyberLink software too which means you can watch your Blu-Rays). It's just a Samsung BR-ROM.

i woudent take corsair, i think 600 is to little for a pc with that specs, but anyway the reason why i woudent take a corsair is because the cabels are not very long.
so it can by that youre cabels are to short for a good cablemangement.
look for coolermaster in stead.

600W Should be fine IMO, and Corsair is one of the better brands out there so I believe it should be fine.

I'd always go for Corsair over Cooler Master when buying a power supply. The CX 600 is a great low cost unit.

The drive I've got is the Samsung SH-B123L. Any Samsung or LG drive will do though.

and i think for that build and money a ssd would be good as boot disk.
ather wise you will have a fast cpu, a verry fast graphics card, fast memory and a slow hdd.
samsung 840 120gb ssd is a verry good 1.
not the fastest (not slow ) but verry reliable

well ssd only affects game loading and booting up the system... (not the fraps in game) so i figured that would be an addon later when i get some more money....

also I went to the computer shop and asked a guy about my specs... he said they were good.. also he recommended getting this thing that can tell you the cpu temperature and fan control... where can i get these? any model you recommend? is it worth the money?

I wouldn't bother with one of those. There are free programs you can download which do exactly that.

yes true, ssd does nothing for fps.
and for the rest, you have a good configuration, persenley i would go for this card first Asus DirectCU II TOP Radeon HD 7970 but its a big one, 3 slots.
second i would go for


MSI HD 7970 Lightning

but still thats what i would do.
because the asus is fast/cool/and clocks well.
the msi clocks well

both cards are a little more power hungrey

If you're only running one card (what card do you plan to get?) then 600W will be fine, but 750W will give you more future-proofing.
