For the last couple of days i have been working on finding parts for my first computer build. The computer i am trying to build will MOSTLY be for "gaming", but i would like to also try to use virtual machines (as in running more than one game at once). The virtualization isn't as important as the actual gaming part. These are the parts i have come up with so far.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition - $$183.99 (THIS IS THE ONE I WOULD PREFER)
COOLING: XIGMATEK Dark Knight / 5 FANS - $49.99 or less (might not be right one)
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard - $119.99
RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 4GB DDR3 1600
GPU: BFG BFGE96512GTOCE GeForce 9600 GT OC Video Card - Overclocked Edition, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, HDMI Support-$79.99
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD7501AALS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard DriveWestern Digital Caviar Black WD7501AALS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive (dont know what raid is LOOOL) - $70.00
CASE: Lian-Li Lancool PC-K62 - $100
PSU: CORSAIR 750W Modular - $149.99
OS: Windows 7 home 64 bit- $100
If you have any suggestions or better things i could use please say. The graphix card i put was the wrong one and i can't remember the one i wanted. Also if there is a better ram part i could purchase please say. All of these things should be compatible with each other. Lastly my budget is $1,250 to the max.(i can get the money if i need a little bit more)
If you need more info make sure to ask that to.
