This was the first computer I had, windows 98 in 01' so you can imagine. Everyone got new computers except me of coarse. And im thinking of putting one in my room now. But nonetheless, here is what ive been looking at. My budget is <1000 for everything. And this does not include monitor, mouse,keyboard, speakers. Those items are newer (<1.5yrs old) Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $99.99 ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard $118.99 MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX $164.99 CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC $109.99 AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX $159.99 G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8T-6GBRM $114.99 Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive $79.99 ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM $19.99 COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible Hyper N 520 RR-920-N520-GP 92mm Sleeve CPU Cooler $34.99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subtotal: $903.91 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// So please give me your feedback and you can tell me what I should replace.

| Not Ranked : 0 score if you're not planning to OC, save the money on the cooler you're building an AMD system get a 2x2 or 4x2 kit, 3x2 is for intel lga 1366 that 4870x2 is a beast, what are you planning on playing and what size is your monitor? |
