It all looks fine to me. Personally, I'd use a better case, maybe something Cooler Master, and a better higher capacity hard drive. I like the Samsung Spinpoint F3s myself. Also the PSU worries me. The wattage is fine but you are going to have a mess of cables. I'd spend a little extra and get a modular PSU where you can just attach the cables you need. Corsair is a good brand though. I believe their upper end PSUs are made by Seasonic, one of the best in the business.

If it were me, I would look at putting at least raid 1 in there. It only takes a second drive for data backup since the MB supports it. Drives are pretty cheap. Plus, you can get the Samsung 1TB for $20 more. |

That's a good solid performance-to-value set of components. Particularly glad to see you went with 8 instead of 4 gigs.
If I have any suggestion it's that as your next upgrade you consider getting an SSD (solid state drive) to put your OS and applications on. SSD drives are blindingly fast compared to mechanical drives and the bang for your buck in terms of increased computer performance is high. Your PC will boot in like 15 seconds. Applications open almost instantly. Certain games will be much more responsive and will certainly load faster. Everyone I know who adds one of these is real happy with the impact it has on the experience of using their computer. Here's a pretty solid one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820167050 |
