That's a great little build Lawndart, I always forget about and discount AMD, and shouldn't do so, especially for a lower cost/budget gaming system, as like I've said before, IMO based on various tests and personal experience it's mostly the GPU for games nowadays in terms of FPS and performance. Great build, PChound is a new site for me, as I have to stick with Canadian based stuff due to the PITA of the border and the extra costs always involved with that, and the added pita for returning/RMA if it ever becomes an issue. But I do like to keep up to date with interesting and good US based stuff. For those few Canadian members here, NCIX.ca and better yet Memoryexpress.com have similar PC building tools that are decent as well.
I do really like that build Lawndart, one of the better if not best for the price I've seen. Corsair, CoolerMaster, lots of parts from great companies I like as well. Antec cases are very good as well, it's just a personal pref, that's the only thing I'd really change to a Corsair of some type, just for habitual reasons mostly, as I've had Antec stuff before, as my shop I've used for 20 years builds all of their in house stuff with Antec cases.
edit due to same time posting - YUCCA, what specific CPU is that? Not that it truly matters a huge deal, just for interests sake. Looks pretty good to me. I'm assuming that SSD is the Samsung 850 pro, I have one ready for my next build, and have been using their 830 and 840 and they've been great. If you run short on space you can always add a 7200 spinner or another SSD later very easily. One thing I would say is make sure that PSU is a decent one for the money. Seasonic, Corsair (built by Seasonic mostly) and a few other makers have a lot stronger reps than some others.
Pretty good system YUCCA, what's the $ going to be?
