building new rig, tell me what you think

i'd slap down $10 more for this gpu instead:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187110or i'd suggest not spending that much on a case and getting something like this instead:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163154and get this gpu with the money saved:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125316

.... but thats just me

your computer needs more PSU!!!!

jk OP im not out to troll or anything.. but seriosuly youve neglected to list a power supply..

[QUOTE="milla777"]Thanks guys so basically it sounds like the case is the only thing I need to change...iliatay

illatay your never gonna convince him.. some people jsut wont listen..

give up go home :|

Came up with another build for you. Managed to squeeze a better video card:

Lite-ON DVD Drive
Scythe Case Fan (to put in the front of the case)
Corsair 650TX 650w Power Supply w/ WD Caviar Black 1TB Hard Drive
Corsair 4GB DDR3-1600 4GB Memory w/ NZXT M59 Case
Gigabyte HD 5870 Video Card w/ AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor
Gigabyte 880GA-UD3H Motherboard w/ Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Operating System

Grand total, including shipping: $1000.05

- I switched the processor because quad-cores are more than enough for games nowadays, and it is much faster compared to the X6 in terms of frequency. Assuming you're not looking into overclocking, the 965 would be a better buy for your needs.

- Changed the power supply to a 650w because it is more than enough for a single-GPU setup. Granted, you will need to upgrade your power supply when you do decide to get a second one, but single-GPU cards out currently are more than enough to handle any game running at resolutions up to 1080p, and even more in some.

- Changed the hard drive to a Caviar Black as it is one of the fastest platter drives you can get right now. This will help with load times, be it booting into Windows or loading a game.

- Changed the memory because it was in a combo with the case. The M59 is one of the best value for your money in terms of cases. It has ample room for extra fans, it has cable management capabilities, andit can support cards as long as the 5870, which is the longest single-GPU card in the market currently.

- Changed the video card as it is faster than the 5850. It will handle all those games you mentioned very well.

- Changed the motherboard to a Gigabyte as I find them to be a more reliable brand. ASRock is decent, but if you can afford a Gigabyte or ASUS, then I would suggest getting those instead. Combo'd the operating system with it too.

And as for your inquiry about the monitor, I personally used a VH202T-P before, and all I had was good things to say about it. ASUS is a good brand for monitors, and that looks to be no different with that one.

if you look at any of the latest video card news youd see that they are going to push out a new line of video cards for the holiday season, i'd suggest waiting til then,

otherwise in 3 months your brand new 1000$ computer will already be outdated

Upon further review, it actually looks like the 880G chipset that the Gigabyte motherboard has does not support Crossfire, so no dual 5870's with this board. However, if you do get another motherboard that supports 16x/4x Crossfire, the performance does not look to be affected very much, if at all. As long as you stick with resolutions below 2560x1600, it should be fine. If you are interested in getting a Crossfire-capable motherboard, then let me know, and I'll go and see what I can find for you.

Some prefer to go with just one high end card rather than a multi-gpu setup (SLI & Crossfire). You can run into bugs and problems with a multi-gpu setup. I have two GTX 470's in SLI (my first time with SLI) and have had great performance and haven't run into any bugs/problems so far. If you want to SLI (Nvidia's multi-gpu tech) with an AMD cpu then you will need an AM3 mobo with an nforce chipset. An AMD mobo with an Nforce chipset can only do SLI not Crossfire, though it can still run a single AMD gpu. There are only a few AMD mobo's that use the Nforce chipset. Most use an AMD chipset that allows Crossfire (AMD/ATI multi-gpu tech). Intel's P55 (socket 1156) and X58 (socket 1366) mobo's are capable of running both SLI and Crossfire.

I don't see why not... As long as it has an HDMI or a VGA port on it, then you would be able to use it.

i have see a lot ,so i have no any idea..

Sounds pretty awesome. I will be ordering my new computer very shortly. Anyone recommend any good youtube videos or anything to help me actually put it together?milla777

There's a stickied guide on this very forum that shows you how to put everything together. It looks to cover everything that you'll need to know.
