Well in light of building Waystins computer I was requested to build a rig for a friend as a basic gamer and web browser..Here is what he is getting.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504 i-5 3570 CPUhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125443 Gigabyte 660 Vid cardhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236102 Asus 24" monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128582 Gigabyte z77 motherboardhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428 8 gig Gskill Ripjaw Memory 1600 speedhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171083 Cooler Master 600 watt PSUhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840 Seagate Barracuda 1TB hard drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151266 Samsung DVD Burner All this stuffed neatly into http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146087 NZXT Phantom 410 case , color White.I know there are probably better items out there but i was given a specific amount i could work with and i stayed under that amount. I still have the OS to get which will be Windows 7 Home premium and Eset Nod 32 AV.As soon as I get the items in I will be putting this bad boy together and taking pics as I build it. Lets say making a tutorial for anyone who is scared to build a computer they can see how to build it. LawnDart
Is that G-skill memory in the qualified vendor list of that motherboard? If not, get something else that is.
the mobo is out of stock at new egg.semp
Those components will get you a lot of bang for your buck, specially the 660 and that processor. I'd also look into the Gtx 750, it's a nice performer and quite low on price. By the way, will you use the stock cpu cooler?
