If you arent ordering it now, dont bother doing a form. They dont want to feel like theyre wasting time.

Edit: How bad do you guys think my cpu will be bottlenecking my gpu?

Until I save up another paycheck or two, I'm going to be stuck with my current setup:

2gb of Ram.

Intel Pentium D dual Core @ 3.6ghz

GTX 550 Ti

I highly doubt I'll be able to achieve max settings on guild wars 2 with these, but the only thing I'm missing from my new build is the processor because I can't afford it at the moment.

Is there much difference between EVGA geforce GTX 670 4gb and the 2gb one is it worth the extra 100 pounds

ironic, becuase this post has nothing to do with a request or completed build, so you should have posted this in discussion

It's alright, I just created the new topic and I knew people wouldn't catch on immediately. I'll just quote the posts here and answer them in the discussion thread.

can you tell me what is missing?

i have repped

Don't. You'd be throwing your money away purchasing one of those crap sealed loops.

Zalman CNPS7000C CPU Cooler with Manual Fan Speed Control

Unneeded.

Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R 8GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 Vengeance Memory - Red

Grab a 4GB kit. I don't know of any media PC that'd actually cap that.

ACE 650W BR PSU with 12cm Red Fan and PFC - Black

Crap. There is a reason why some 600w PSU's are $90 and why are some $20. It's simply quality control. It's a low end, unreliable, un-reputable, no name brand. Grab a 380w Antec / 450w XfX.

Cooler Master RC-430-KWN1 Elite 430 Midi Tower with Window - Black

Not a great case. Antec One / HAF 912 / Zalman Z9. Better construction, air flow, features, and cable management.

Thanks alot have just got in the last of my new custom computer once it is finished i will upload a picture

Fantastic for the price. The Zalman Z9 is the Z11 but without the flabby plastic overdesign. It's also a lot cheaper. With lowered settings, you can play BF3 very well with the 7770. The PSU is a new discovery of mine and it's impossible to beat for the price. No more CX430 or Earthwatts recommendations. This will output 550 watts at consistently over 80% efficiency.
