Just placed my order for my first ever pc build for gaming use. Budget was ~$900. What do you think of it? I'll be using win 7.

Just ordered all of this, i'm excited to start building and tinkering .

I *love* the CPU/mobo combo, because I have the same one!

For $30 more, you can get the 1TB version of that WDC HDD.

One thing I wish I had done with my 955BE is put it on this board:

If you have a bit more money, I would recommend that board if you want to overclock at all.

I love the video card as well. If you get more money, though, I would recommend then 4890. It's about $30 more expensive than what you have there.

Have fun with that build! You did excellent on the pricing.

Are you gonna take pictures as you progress?? I would like that lol/ Good strong built for the price

 

[judgementofgod]

Unless I missed it, will you be getting an aftermarket cpu cooler?

A real bonified gaming build.

Overall a good build... I personally would have switched to a 720 and spent the extra on a 4890 toxic, but the 955 is a great chip and will be able to stretch its legs down the road when you do a GPU upgrade.

There is no better choice atm for cooling Phenom 2 than the Mugen 2 IMO.

You are going to love that HAF, but if i were you i would paint it. I am painting mine in a bit and from what I have seen, it looks amazing painted. I second the 4890, the extra horsepower will come in handy later. Nice build though.

Everything is fine, except some ppl like me would suggest more popular brands. Like G.skill for ram, corsair for psu, etc...

Well one thing I dislike is the thermal compound. Why get Tuniq? You shoulda grabbed a OCZ freeze.

Spend $30 more for the coolermaster 932.. You will NOT be sorry!Full tower and real awesome airflow. I do not think anyone has better air flow in a case!

THESE GRAPHICS CARDS ARE LARGE NOWADAYS AND A FULL TOWER IS WHAT YA NEED.
