New Build - Need opinions!

End3R · Oct 12, 2010

So my beast of a machine that I built a few years ago is finally starting to show it's age so I'm trying to piece together a new one. Here is a link to my build on newegg, let me know what you think, or if you know of any better/cheaper items let me know

WAYYYYY overkill on PS. Id go with a solid 550/650. For that money get an X-650. If you're looking to cut costs go with an M12II or S12II

Id probably go with a hyper 212 over the Thermaltake. They're $15 refurbed on CM Store. I just bought two the other day. http://cmstore.coolermaster-usa.com/...roducts_id=412

i5 750 is a good suggestion too

If it's for gaming I would honestly lower the CPU to an i5 750 and the PSU for TX750 (850w is overkill for an HD5850 even for an HD5970).

Then I would get higher card like a GTX470 or HD5870.

Alright so a lower PSU and maybe downgrading to an i5, how's the rest of it look?

Consider the hyper 212+ - other than that, you're golden buddy

Rest looks great, the Thermaltake frio is a great cooler

I would also try going for a better graphic card, or wait for 6000 series coming next week

No problem

We're here to help. It's a great setup there.

If it's for gaming though, try going for a higher card
