Yeah... I ordered all the parts for a new system I'm building... I'm just waiting for them to come. I would like some input;

Antec 300
Gigabyte 790X-UD4P
Phenom II 720
Visiontek HD 4850 512MB; I couldn't find the Visiontek 4850 with the HS and fan I have so I linked this instead.
OCZ 4GB DDR2 800 4-4-4-15
Corsair 650TX
WD 640GB HDD 16MB Cache
LG DVD Burner

Comments?

This is my first build so if you have anything helpful or anything I should be aware of, tell me; I'm going to be running Windows 7RC.

Thanks.

sick build man should be a good setup just fyi Im sure you are very aware by now but when you start getting into the bigger gpu cards they can be a tight squeeze in the case but manageble i cut a little on my 300 case but its spacies not as spacies as the 1200 though.

not bad but could i ask why the 4850 instead of the 4770?

Hopefully I won't have to mess around with the cable management too much

Actually, I'm using a 4850 I already had.

Good choices all around. Corsair, OCZ, WD, and Antec are all top in their class. ATI and AMD are usually the best bang for the buck in each of their classes.

On Windows 7RC I've heard that you have to reformat and reinstall every so often (because of a trial period). Maybe someone else can verify this.

I thought it was a 1-year trial and after the year passes it starts shutting off every three hours...?

I haven't heard about anything else...

Nice build

But you need some RAM J/K

Do work on the cable management some though.

An HDD With A 32MB Cache Could Of Been A Better Choice.

And Faster Memory Would Have Been Better.

And Personally I Would Of Went With A 4770 Over A 4850 (But Thats Just Me)

Overall - A Nice Budget Build Though
