Terrible build, for $20 more the CPU/motherboard you could get an i5-2500K + Z68.

Either wait for BD or go with Intel.

Going from HD 57xx series to GTX 550 Ti isn't much of an upgrade. Save for a better video card.

that drive was on sale for $25 at one time

get the samsung f3 1t for $50, well worth the extra $5

if you want to upgrade to the bd later, get the 955 for $105

He should just wait if he wants to upgrade to BD otherwise he's spending $105 on a useless processor when he obviously has a budget. That $105 would be better invested in a video card.

The 2 most important things for gaming are the CPU and the video card. Don't skimp on those. If you want to go with AMD wait a couple of days, BD is coming out supposedly.

What's your budget?

I would consider a i5-2500k build with at least a 560Ti video card.

 

[ffejrxx]

amd likes low timings vs high speed

this kit overclocks extremely well
1333 cl6 to 2000 cl9

Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3B1K2/4GX $30

I was honestly trying to get this comp sometime next week. What is BD? like full name so i can google and check it out

 

[MinitroN]

AMD bulldozer.

If you want to put it together ASAP get the i5-2500K from Intel and something like this motherboard.

Actually you could go with the i5-2400 + the motherboard from above and it would also be much faster than the 1100T.

Either way spend more on the video card, I'd suggest a GTX 460/HD6850 at least.

AMD FX retails in a week. It's already available for preorder at several places.
