if your question is, will it work when you put all the parts together, yes, probably, and itll play most games out today fairly well.

but its not the most wise collection of parts. no pci slots means other than a graphics card you can fit nothing else in your pc, so youll be stuck with less than great onboard audio which puts you at a great disadvantage in any competative fps game for example. youre graphics card may be slightly bottlenecked by that cpu too, and obviously at a later date in a couple of years when you want to upgrade your processor/graphics or both, youll almost certainly want atleast 650w so will have to buy another psu which isnt very cost effective in the long run.

you should still be able to get a cheap micro atx board with a couple of pci slots aswell as the pci express slot. for maybe $5 more it would be a good move as then if you want a proper sound card later then you can get one. and i would get a 650w psu to save myself in the long run. but its not bad for a first build.

edit: you might also want to consider getting a cheap as possible 250gb or even 80gb hard drive as by the time you are using up the space, the price will be much, much lower. the price currently is greatly inflated by a couple of factories being burned to the ground. the same 500gb you want to buy cost about £35 a few months ago.

why pay more for an unlocked CPU (ie anything with a k after it, like 2700k) when you dont want to overclock? just buy a 2700 or 2600 and save the money.

you dont need to bother with an aftermarket cooler if you arent going to overclock either.

and spending £150 on a motherboard with 3 pci-e slots is a waste of money if you wont be crossfiring or sli. you will have the same performance spending £80 on any z68 board. aslong as it supports ddr3, sata 3 and your choice of cpu youll be fine.

[QUOTE="ionusX"]

[QUOTE="gigatrainer"]I am currently running my Q9550 @ 3.3Ghz, what would be the difference between i7 2600k and i5 2500k in encoding? Also, how much can they overclock in stock heatsink?gigatrainer

huge difference in encode.. but still wont be the greatest.. only Bulldozer cpu's and SB-E really excel at it. on stock sink not much but its powerful enough for everything but the encode you will be laughing

In terms of %, how would they stack against each other? Bulldozer FX 8150 also fits my budget, would it be a better purchase than i5 2500k or i7 2600k when seeing encoding and gaming?

go look at toms hardware cpu charts and compare the two cpu's.

If you plan on overclocking, be sure to get some cheap XBox 360 VRAM heatsinks off of eBay for the mosfets...superclocked
ignore this guy

This one is good for overclocking, this one, too, plus it has CF and SLI support.

This is the one i am getting

MB =http://msi.com/product/mb/Z68MA-G45--G3-.html

Any input or advice is appreciated.

not all all. with motherboards all you pay for are features. none of them will perform any better than the other due to build quality (to any noticeable extent). if all you will ever need is 3 usb slots, dont buy a board with 10, because even though it may have "zomg super awesome gaming board" on the packaging, you are getting nothing more for your money. assuming you dont want to sli or try overclocking to an extreme amount it will be perfect. i run my 2500k at 4.6 on a cheap gigabyte z68 ds3. i shouldve gone cheaper really because i dont need the sli. just make sure it has the features you want. find out what chipset you want (google z68 p67 h61 etc differences), and then get a motherboard which is capable of all the features you need. (sata 3, pci e slot/ram amount and max speed, what cpu it supports etc) this wont come to more than £75 or so.

think what you like but if you know anything then you should support them because you know their heart is in the right place. if you dont know how the US gov are the biggest terrorists the world has ever seen then i suggest you start reading some books and looking at history.

with logitech youd get a better mouse for the money. the g400 would be better than either of those.

If you can, sell off the 5450 and buy a 5770, 6770 or 7750. With one of those you'll be gaming on med-high, or even max.

EDIT: Just curious, could you link(or post the url)where this is? I'm interested in it for a secondary...

id guess you havnt plugged the pci e power cables to the graphics cards. and btw, lol, thats a way too expensive mobo for a workstation. any £50 mobo wouldve made no difference.
