Yeah I agree with Troll_Face, download from utorrent Windows 7 Ultimate. If you dont want to go that route buy a windows 7 ultimate key like I did for $20.

You can but legit keys from Ebay, or do google search for "buy cheap windows 7 ultimate keys".

The Noctua NH-D14 destroys the H70 for less.

The new design of Ripjaws RAM is the same price and it's much purdier.

Save some change on the board by going with this one:

Get a cheaper case with less rice, and I'd say you're good to go.

Personally I'd throw in a Crucial M4 128GB SSD with all the money you've saved by getting a cracked Windows 7, cheaper board, cheaper case, and cheaper cooler. Not the 64GB because the 128 is significantly faster due to the way the memory is designed.

Also use this to run downloaded Windows without a hitch.

I third the Win. idea, let me know if you need help with that. Your using VGA? Keep in mind VGA is old technology and the quality is good, but less of that to other, solutions. The video card will destroy any game out there. ANY game. (Besides MineCraft xD)The processor, I'd spend 10$ more and get a 2550k, which is far superior.

OH CRAP! I just remember, when I built my 1800$ comp I got almost all u got but I got a amazing GTX 680 (best single GPU out) and a much better PSU. Just letting you know, you WILL NOT have much headroom at ALL with that PSU. Don't plan on having two of those... But with the processor, I accidentally got a i5, I can't stress this enough, please, get, an i7. For that 80$ you get hyper threading which doesn't effect gaming, but does support SSE5 which is HUGE on gaming. Please do it, I'm so mad at myself for not...

GOOD rig besides PSU and processor choice, don't get me wrong, they're OK but, you know. Take it from a pro.

Let me add to this? The motherboard he linked: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] is "Ivy Bridge". This is a more advanced and slightly (10% non-gaming @ max, 2% gaming) better motherboard. All that is different is it supports the newest generation of processors, intels i5 and i7 Ivy Bridge. Still LGA 1155. Research it, and to answer ur question, a old (what u posted) i5 WILL work with Ivy forsure.

You don't need more than a 2500K/2550K for gaming. End of story. Hyper-threading is useless to OP and the money would be better spent elsewhere.

Not a thing wrong with that PSU. If he wants to SLI, get an 850 watt.

Don't use analog cables.

A pro? You're not a pro, you're 14 for **** sake. Also, i7 isn't going to help him unless he does 3D Modelling.
