Console Gamer Needing Build Advice. ($1000 Budget)

Hi there,

I would appreciate any help given. This will be my first build. I already have 8 GB of Ram, Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, and a Disc Drive waiting.

Is there anything I should change here? Is the motherboard too much? I'm just looking for the best performance I can get with the money I have to work with. Thank you.

You forgot a case

Be careful with the HDD, those Green ones can be slow because they are trying to conserve power, might wanna look into the black version for just a bit more!

Whoops forgot to include that as well. Spellingiscool

You don't need that big a PSU unless your thinking of SLI.

Get a 650 or even a 600watt from a good brand and your fine.

dont go for the green HDD. i have one and i regret getting it even tho it was 800GB for $49. they are slow and when you want to open a app that is installed into that drive your whole PC freezes for like 4 seconds. there only good if you going to store music, movies, and pictures. and small files like word files. but for everything else like gaming and other programs get a blue or black drive. i think newegg has some good deals on black HDD with a good amount of space.

ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB $244 with rebate

I would get this GPU. Its anawesome card, itcrossfire and overclocks very well if you want more performance down the road. Better for future than nvidia too cuz it does DX11 better and has lower powedrain.

Also http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7195036&body=MAINthis PSU would supply you fine and even with 2 6950s in crossfire down the road.

Thank you for the advice. I will be switching to a caviar black. Now I just need to find a case. Spellingiscool
