Final check before I buy my computer build

[Ragemike]

I made a thread 2 weeks ago, asking for suggestions on what parts to get for a gaming rig under 600 dollars.

That thread is here: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=976274[/url]

My last post in that thread has an different list of what I thought I was going to end up buying, but this is what I've actually decided on. No one posted, and since this is technically a new topic, and very important to me, I went ahead and started a new thread.

Even though I've come to a conclusion on what I'm gonna buy, I'd like you all to view it to make sure I'm not forgetting anything, or to give me more suggestions.

Tell me if I should change something, add something, or just whatever you think, please.

I have a total of 700 dollars, so I won't be able to exceed that price. Originally I had 600, but I got 100 more since I posted my other thread asking what parts to get. The build I have listed here comes to $671.08 with shipping and everything.

955 instead and overclock if you wish, tutorials around here as well [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808&cm_re=955-_-19-103-808-_-Product[/url]
thermal paste comes pre-applied but if youre going to use that instead ok
dont think the power supply is enough to power your components

You don't need some of that, and a few of your parts are low quality.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know about the thermal paste. Why should I get the 955 instead?

Thank you for the suggestion.[/QUOTE]

People recommend the 955 because an extra 0.2GHz isn't worth $20 on a processor with an unlocked multiplier, meaning that it is extremely easy to get that 0.2GHz back with an overclock. You also generally only buy thermal paste if you're buying an aftermarket heatsink. While those may sometimes come with their own paste, if you're going for aftermarket cooling at all, you may as well spend a few dollars more and get the AS.

And you don't really need an anti-static wristband. As long as you're not building on a shag carpet and you remember to touch your PSU while its plugged in but not turned on every few minutes while you're installing the parts, you should be fine.

Ah, I see. Thank you very much for the information. I hadn't planned on overclocking, therefore I hadn't planned on buying extra fans, an aftermarket heatsink, or any other cooling accessories. I bought the computer.
