• ~$800 PC Build

I'm looking to build a new computer. I do a bit of gaming, but not a whole lot and I'm ok with medium settings. I'm looking to buy from NewEgg, and only need the tower. I already have a 1TB drive I'll be throwing in from my old computer for storage, and I haven't yet picked out a case. I just can't seem to choose one. Anything < $100 will work. < $160 if it comes with a power supply. Here's what I've picked out so far: [url]http://jonbrant.com/PC.jpg[/url] Does anyone see anything obvious that won't work out? I tried to pick the highest rated budget parts, only thing left is a case. Any suggestions? Comments? The power supply seems like it might be a bit overkill. Anyone know of anything cheaper with "nice" cables that will power what I have? Oh, and I don't really plan to overclock anything except maybe the processor. Only reason I picked out the black edition
You might need a case. same case im using right now no problems. alot of room to work with in it [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137"]cooler master[/URL]
Get the GTX460 instead of the 9800, also get the 955 instead of the 965, the difference is only a 200MHz boost, which can be overclocked easily.
swap the velociraptor for an SSD to put OS on and get a samsung spinpoint F3 for storage, I'm not clued up on SSDs much so someone else will have to help you here 965 isn't worth the cost over 955 the fatalities are a bit iffy, use [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017&cm_re=modxstream-_-17-341-017-_-Product[/url] instead for case, [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119216&cm_re=coolermaster_690ii-_-11-119-216-_-Product[/url]
