This will be the first rig I'll build myself.

don't forget to put the thermal paste on the correct side.

Disc drives (2 of em) are tip top afaik. Also that case is hella spensive... If cases are that much I may try to stick with my current one.

4g of RAM? Is that enough?

Thinking about dropping the price range to 800 or so, seems a bit more manageable.

you wanted a quite case how quite, that one is supposedly very quite and has decent/good cooling.
Edit are your disc drives ide or sata

I am pretty sure u can fit at least HD 5850 for that budget. I'll throw something together a bit later today, busy with coding atm...

why not a Noctua NH-D14?

This?

tri-channal ram in a p55 mobo that is a waste of money.

I hav no idea what I have (total hardware) and I assume dxdiag doesn't tell you stuff like power supply. I'll try to make a more comprehensive list of what I've got.

edit: Okay, the case seems more reasonable if it's quiet.. I guess it still looks really pricey

Both of my drives are SONY DVD RW AW-Q-170A
I can grab a copy of windows 7 from the campus comp store for $30
This is my PSU, if that means anything to you guys

Keyboard/Mouse are A-OK but my headphones are falling apart (Actually the USB end is falling apart), I've had to reconnect it with the little metal stems all the fricking time and it sometimes decides you pulled a little bit to the left and they'll stop working midgame.

Ummm. HDD is not a big concern, I have 500 on my laptop, 500 on external USB powered and another 500 that's wall-powered. 500 or so is more than plenty but I don't see much differentiation between the sizes. I thought about a small SSD for windows and a few other things but that seems to blow my budget completely out of the water. This sucker will have to total under 1k at the most, and 800 sounds like a much more manageable price if the rig still fits the qualifications (quiet, runs bfbc2 great, etc).

I dont know about great for under 1k or for any price but ok on high dx10 seems reasonable for 1k. any chance you can get the entire serial number for the psu the one that starts with cha the fan protector seems to be blocking some of it. Also reusing a psu if its over 3 years old isnt a great idea.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I built this.

giant post

Ordered? or just threw together on Newegg?

oh no just threw together, like I said I have no idea wtf I'm doing, I have no idea if even all those parts go together

just looking for opinions

does anyone have any super awesome possum deals on maybe a slightly higher grade GPU? would be sex <3

Here's what I've got right now, assuming I can sell off some pieces of my current rig for a fair amount.

why that CPU?

erm, why not? Do you suggest an alternative?
