Please critique my new setup

[GimpsGTP]

Listed below is the new setup I am thinking about buying real soon. Please let me know what you think and if you have any recommendations for better items and why.

This computer will only be used for WOW max resolution, web browsing, etc. Im hoping this computer will be overkill for my needs so it will last a little while.

Are you going to OC? If you are going to OC then get the 2500k, all the "k" means is that it has an unlocked multiplier and is easier to OC. If you do not plan to OC, the 2400 will do just fine.

for rest look good but HDD WD Black or Samsung F3 and PSU CORSAIR HX Series 650W might be better. just my opinion
mobo and GPU i not expert.

~have fun~

Thanks for the reply, anyone else???

I agree with mandia, if you're planning to OC, get the 2500k. If not, the setup looks all good.

Your chosen parts look good. But I think this hard drive is a more reliable model than the one you have chosen. Hard drive failures are just awful in my opinion. If I were you I would buy two of them so you can make convenient backups of your data. Take a look:

Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640 gigabyte 7200 RPM Serial ATA Hard Drive - $61

Edit: I also noticed you haven't picked a DVD drive out yet.

Now maybe im completely unaware but I was thinking of this DVD drive. Does a nice one really matter besides durability????

I was just going to buy two of those. Seeing as there just as cheap as DVD drives

Hey! I literally just finished a computer build today with that optical drive. Is working well for me so far.
