So me and my bro (Dux_Tell) are looking to build a new computer and before we got all the parts we thought it would be a good idea to see what you people think about it.

Parts:

CPU -  AMD Phenom II X4 965 ($98.24)
Motherboard - Gigabyte AMD 760G ($46.5)
Video Card - XFX Radeon HD 6670 ($67.74)
RAM -  Corsair XMS3 4 GB ($33.18)
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 500 GB ($49.99)
Case -  GAMMA Classic Series ATX Mid Tower ($39.99)
Power Supply -  Cooler Master eXtreme 500W ($39.98)
Optical Drive – Lite-On Super AllWrite 24X ($15.99)
Grand Total: $391.86

What's your overall budget?

About 400$ but if we really had to we probably could go to 500$.

That is fairly cheap actually, I'm not sure about the stats but I think that such computer will cost around 600$ here if not more.

Remember that we're the one's building it, plus amazon has some discounts on some of the parts.

That PSU is ew. Go to a 40 or 50 buck lower wattage one from a renowned manufacturer like Thermaltake or Corsair. You also might consider springing for a 7750, it's a fair bit more powerful than a 6670. AMD's Phenom II processors are solid, though, and everything else on the list looks good from a price/performance standpoint.

We have the computer parts! (You will not believe how exited I am!)

Well come back inside so we can talk about it.

Ya we got some different parts than what we originally intended, brining the price up.

Post them?
