I'm BUILDING my OWN computer. Price isn't a huge factor right now, I just need to make sure it's good.


You do basically build your own, you select all the parts and everything, they just have premade layouts, this just seems easier than scrollin through lists of Small Name brands instead of the good stuff, just imo

Just... No. You need to understand that prebuilders give you the shaft and are no good for your money.

r00t_b33r wrote Not terrible!

I would suggest a lower wattage PSU like a non-OCZ (Bad reputation for PSUs, look at Corsair, XFX, Seasonic, Silverstone, etc.) 500 watt unit.

Get the Samsung Spinpoint F3 instead of that drive (SATA III is a gimmick for mechanical drives, it is totally useless since the drive cannot saturateSATA II). The F3 is the fastest, best-priced, most reliable, and quietest 1TB in the price range.

I would step the CPU up to a 2500K especially with a high-end heatsink for just a bit more money. It will perform much better, overclock like a champ, and last you a long time.

That cooler does not look bad, but I have not heard much about it. I would personally go with either a Noctua NH-D14 or a Xigmatek Gaia/CM Hyper 212+, nothing else. People seem to like that one, though. Go for it if you want! Still, for a budget build with the best bang for the buck, I would get the 212+ from Tigerdirect or the Gaia from Newegg and save some money.

For the card, I strongly suggest you check out EVGAs B-Stock. They have some truly incredible deals and I am eyeing their cheap 570s.

Watch the voltage on the RAM since Sandy Bridge has theoretical issues with RAM over 1.59 volts. I suggest this:

I personally find that case revolting, haha I suggest you get the HAF 912 or a Cooler Master 690 II Advanced.


Haha, look at the updated list of items. Sorry you spent the time typing that. Generation helped on a other post. But thanks for the other suggestions that Generation didn't give me.

Small name brands? Do you know anything about the computer industry at all? And you don't build it, they do. You just have to cough up, herp derp, and fill in bubbles with ridiculously limited selections.

Your opinion is wrong.

- They will cost more, have limited warranties, less customization..etc.

Building a PC is always the better choice.
