I'm Looking to build a new system (my first attempt), so tell me how this looks! I'm open to any suggestions. My budget is around $400, preferably less.
I'm planning on installing Windows 7, probably 64 bit because i think the CPU can handle that and I hear it's better.
Also, I am not a PC Gamer, but maybe I'll start?
Anyways, here it goes...hopefully I'm not missing anything & help me out please
CPU
AMD Phenom X4 9750 Quad Core Processor
This Processor comes bundled with my Motherboard here
CPU Cooler
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler
Motherboard
Biostar TA790GXE Motherboard
Memory
Wintec AMP-X Dual Channel (2 x 2 GB) - 240-pin - DDR2 - 800 MHz / PC2-6400
Computer Case
LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WBK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower - 480W PSU
Video/Sound Card
EDIT AGAIN: here's a different video card I picked out, this one supports CrossFireX with my motherboard
Pretty sure the motherboard has built in sound, so no card is needed.
XFX HD-435X-YAH2 Radeon HD 4350 512MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Low Profile Ready Video Card
The motherboard has integrated video and supports ATI Hybrid Crossfire, so i picked this, but do I really need a video card? I don't think I have an HD monitor anyways, so idk if this is needed.
Hard Drive
I already have a SATA 500 Gb Caviar Blue from Western Digital
DVD Drive
I already have a 22x SATA LG GH22 Super Multi DVD Rewriter
This all totals to $339. So how'd I do?
