4GB RAM isn't GREAT depending on what you play.

I'll go with the 8gb then.. Anything else you could advise on?

The build is extremely unbalanced

Shit PSU
Shit Motherboard
Low RAM for the budget
500GB for the budget (low)


MSI HD 7950 (One of the best coolers): [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

TX650 (800W is WAY TOO MUCH for a single card, with the TX650 you could even Crossfire your card): [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Corsair 400R Case + 8GB Vengeance: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Asrock Extreme4 (all the features that $170 mobos have for cheap) + 1TB Samsung 7200rpm HDD: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

i5 2500k + Asus Optical Drive: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Total: 1011.92

If you want to overclock you will need an Hyper 212 Plus and add $30 to the budget for that aftermarket Cooler.

Good luck with your build!

Awesome post, thank you very much. I've downgraded the video card to the 7850, and the CPU to the i5-3550. Also, I'm also downgrading the PSU to 700W, don't need the extra wattage. Let me know if this is a mistake though

Make sure to get the TX650 (650w is still overkill)

or get the XFX 550w

(You could SLI 7850s with 650w)

Instead of the i5 3550get the i5 2500k which is unlocked and simply a better option

Also instead of the 7850 get the GTX 570, if you wanna get around the GTX 580 performance then get the 7870.
