I think I've finalized on some parts for my first PC build. However, I want to ensure that everything will mesh and as such, I'm posting here prior to having purchased it. Overall, everything will value to around $1400. I want this to be an amazingly fast and efficient gaming computer, along with having the ability to render HD videos quite rapidly. So, any and all feedback on this would be greatly appreciated:

I'm unsure of what CD/DVD drive would suffice, so I suppose that's where I'm stuck. Besides that, I'm pretty much set.
 
Hi,

I should point out 2 things to be fair :

1.
anything you do to make a pc better, will be out of date a few months later, an so you neednt then spend a shed load of money on something supposedly great, when it wont be that 'great' by xmas time.

2.
by adjusting the settings on current or old hardware you can get better performance without having to spend any money at all! :)
an i dont just mean software installs, but the o/s, an cmos even.

hope that helps, as my 1st forum reply here.
 
^^ too bad it isn't really right, the cpu may be a little less suggestable by next month, otherwise everything will still be fine, and also upgrading something else wouldn't be any good for this high end of a setup, since you'd have to replace everything, just it isnt worth it

but agreed with daisy, the 2500k is better, otherwise i'd either get a 945 or similar for the next month then a bulldozer 4150, amd's next gen of cpus, should be better, and for gaming, the 2 more cores are pointless, only fsx uses more than 4 cores, and the majority of games only use 2 anyways.

also this ram will work with the am3+'s, and will be faster, that ram you picked is overpriced, not even low latency.

and the psu is also overpriced for this, this will do anything and is barely less powerful.

and this is a great deal for now though if you plan to order in the next week or so

also check all the combos, can normally save a good chunk with them

The CX is a lowerend Channel Well built power supply, the reason it goes for 50 buck with a rebate. The HX is higher quality. Plus the CX only has 40 amps in the 12V. The HX has 52 amps.
