Looks solid. I have heard people having issues with Rosewill power suppliers in the past, I'm not sure if they've cleaned up their game at all. Let us know how that 9600GT performs.

You should not get that E6750, the E8x00 is the latest technology and is much better for the price!

Also if you are going to be overclocking you should save some money on the CPU (get a E21x0) and get a better graphics card, well thats providing your buying this for gaming.

dont really plan on overclocking, i just want a futureproof pc and that will run games alright. Im not confident enough in myself to overclock parts. So as far as this comp goes is there anything i need to change that is necessary without overclocking, like the PSU and monitor

That one should be fine. It's gotten a lot of good reviews on Newegg. I wouldn't worry about it.

If thats the case you should maybe keep that CPU then.

But your Monitor looks fine to me by looking at the reviews it gotten thus far!

jjust for the record how hard would it be to OC the cpu. The biggest fear of mine would be to screw my new comp up because of it.

Well you basically increase your CPU's front side bus in very small amounts until it gets unstable!

Prior to that though you would want to put you RAM:FSB ratio as close to 1:1 as possible.

Thats just a super simplified example of what you do,,,,just go onto youtube and type in 'how to overclock cpu' or something and learn how to do it properly!

If you're worried about performance in Crysis it isn't the monitor that's holding you back, its the video card. If you had an extra $40 to spend, I jump up to the 8800GT. That would allow you to play Crysis on High settings, I believe.

swith some stuff around

cpu - yours cpu is good but if you want to you can buy the E2180 and OC it to 3.0GHz easy with an arctic cooling freezer 7 pro heatsink but if not stick with your cpu

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116052

PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004

id never trust a rosewill psu with my builds its but thats just me

if you can buy the corsair psu much better quality and 80 bucks with MIR

your mobo is good great overclocker and will last you a long time

your monitor im not to sure about 14X9 is a weird resoultion try buying this one as most websites have a default 12X10 res. viewing angle (from what iv heard)
