Get this case instead. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811129045

You won't need to buy a separate PSU, you will save money.


Also, you can probably get a cheaper, better sound card.

With the money you save with the sound card, you could get a better video card.


And I'm not sure if you're overclocking. But if you're not, the CPU should come with a stock cooler.


Try sticking with newegg.

I'm not good with video cards, i'll let someone else answer that.


And btw, get the arctic silver. I hear it helps a shitload with cooling.

So i think i finally made a good build.. Except does anyone know if i should upgrade my Video card or Motherboard? If you do plz include links. But other than that i think i made a pretty decent build money wise.

i woulda recommend

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814102819

it's better and cheaper than the one you want, but the only diff. is really, is the openGL, which the nvidia one is 2.1 but this is 2.0, but DirectX is 10.1 and urs is 10.0 but it's fanless and i heard steam has issues with ATI rather than Nvidia, but hey, your choice, i have an ATI Radeon HD 4850 and i love it, it laughs at any game that's thrown at it

The only thing I can say i put the money for the sound card in to the other stuff like agraphics card or something. A lot of the MOBO now days
come with good sound quality and can wait til later. Can always buy it later if you want. put the money into a better card or MOBO.

Like everyone else said, ditch the sound card, the on board sound will be fine.

Take that extra money and get a 9600gt and a western digital 640gb (not green) drive.

Also, with that setup in the future you can throw in a Phenom 2 chip at any point (they are pretty good, not core I7 good, but can match the core 2 quads).
