I know I listed some stuff that's irrelevant to the build, I just copied everything in the cart. I don't really have a budget but I don't need a super-computer, so I think that this should be pretty nice.

looks good.

PSU is a bit over kill. You could get a 400w if your not planning to get a high end gpu

I don't technically have one, but for what I use the computer for (music, movies, tv, internet browsing, video editing) anything over $1500 would really be unnecessary I think.


And yeah 1stStrike I figured I didn't need it that high but I figured if money wasn't tight then I might as well get something that I'll never have to upgrade.

With $1500, you should be able to get an i7 rig.

You can also wait till i5 comes out and see how that turns out. Previews show its just as good as i7 at a cheaper price. An i5 rig should only cost $200 more. ($200 cpu and $200 mobo)

I don't need a $180 video card to watch movies! Thank you for the tip though, I will check out EVGA..

I'd go for a quad core processor if I were you - good investment

Errr, I can get you a kickass rig for $1500.


Are you SURE you want to spend that much? Unless you are doing some very high end gaming you definitely won't need that much. I threw together an i7 rig for OG for $900.

I think I am gonna go a little cheaper than $1500, I was reading up a bit and I really don't think I would ever need an i7. I think a quad core would suffice me for a few years. Gonna go with intel though, not amd. I'll update in a few.

I have an i7 rig that I built for about $1150ish (with a 4890 and dual screens though), so if you go with that video card I'm sure you could get a nice i7 rig around $1k

i7 is faster than the i5 smart choice
