looks pretty good, now im a little drunk so dont quote me, but wouldent the gtx 550 ti be a better buy here at the same price?
What is your price raange TC.... If you at 600, you looking pretty good. If you looking in the 700-800 dollar range, definitely go sandy bridge intel wise for the best performance to price ratio.
Also, GTX 460 abosolutely destroys a 550ti.. Def avoid the 550ti or the gtx 450.
Would all of it be easy to put together? this is my first time building a pc.The_Ronin129
pretty easy yeah we have a guide here on these same forums stickied and with pictures!
anyway i recommend taking it one step further and getting a 5770 or if the price is right a 6790, 5850 or 5830 as stated by someone else a 460 768mb eats the stuffing out of a 550ti anyday. those are what i recommend from me to you if you want better value for your dollar beyond that TC your basically golden
here are a few to consider actually:

[QUOTE="wis3boi"][QUOTE="brucejames444"]If you're looking for performance with a little less stability then go for the ATI cards, they are cheaper and offer the same amount of power as Nvidia's models in that price range. But if you're looking for stability I would definitely recommend Nvidia. With Nvidia all is easy, you just plug it and play without problems. Ati's on the other hand offer better performance but might have some issues with game compatibility. Your choice. :) And yes, the 460 the blow the s_t out of 550 any time!swehuntThe ignorance is strong in this one :) And in the very first post made, not looking forward for the second post... ;)
