Thinking about buying, is this a good build? - Hardware & Software

I need some help with this because im new, not sure if everything works together ok. As far as i know it should work together. Im looking for this to be a gaming computer that will be able to run most modern games on high. My budget is $1000 DVD [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204[/url] Case [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066[/url] HDD [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185[/url] Mobo [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131646[/url] Graphics Card [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130657[/url] Powah [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020[/url] RAM [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139075[/url] CPU [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103849[/url] OS [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986[/url] and finally SSD [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148441[/url]

It's great except for the CPU, get a 955 and use the rest for something else, or get an i5 2500k build. [editline]1st September 2011[/editline] actually im unsure about the SSD, someone might come in and tell you another one is a better deal / faster, also it may benefit from the use of combo deals.

oh ok whats wrong with the CPU? and i probably won't switch over intel at this point unless some one can find a good mobo for it and what about a 965?

1090T and other hexacores aren't great for gaming because they don't use all the cores, a 965 isn't that great either, with a 955 you could just bump up the multiplier 1-2 times and get the same or better clock easily. I'd really suggest this: [img]http://puu.sh/53Ap[/img] 1015 after shipping

Still, everyone's assuming they won't be beating Sandy Bridge. The guide you linked even recommends only sandy bridge CPUs.

They all perform the same as far as I know.

Because i live in Canada would that make a diffrence for shipping? and also are you counting the mail-in rebates? Whats the diffrence between the EVGA that i chose and the N560Gtx? [editline]1st September 2011[/editline] this is ridiculous its almost 300 more to buy that build in Canada

oh well there is some local stores that have all the parts i need it can go over budget a little

Is there somewhere in the build where i can shave off some money
