How does this build look? $650-$700 Budget Build


1. What is your budget and does that include shipping/taxes? Around $650-$700

2. Where do you live?Midwest, United States

3. What do you need this computer to do (like gaming, Photoshop, and so on)? Mostly gaming, high performance, not having to worry about upgrading for a few years.

4. What parts will you need for the computer? Please list what parts specifically. Everything, building a brand new one.

5. Are you reusing any parts for this computer? If so please say what parts. None

6. What kind of monitor/resolution do you have or want to get to use for the computer? 18" 1366x769 native resolution monitor currently. Will probably get one with a larger resolution in the future.

7. Do you have a legit OS? If so what OS and is it 32-bit or 64-bit? Going to pick Windows 7 64 bit along with the computer.

8. What are you looking for the motherboard to have feature wise? Like SLI, Crossfire, Firewire, USB 3.0, Sata 6.0 Gb/s, and so on. The motherboard I've chosen has most of these features (Crossfire/Sata 6.0/USB 3.0). I probably won't be taking advantage of any of these features right away as I'm going to be using Crossfire quite yet and I don't have any USB 3.0 devices, but again I want it to be future proof and I think I've chosen a good motherboard

9. Any plans to overclock the CPU or GPU? In the future, perhaps. But right as I buy the computer? No.

10. What time kind of time frame are you planning on ordering these parts? Within the next few months. 1-2.

EDIT: Sorry about that. I've read the sticky but I still didn't go ahead and fill it out.

First time builder here. Overall, I'm very happy with what I'm getting and the price I'm getting it all for. I would just like some further suggestions/clarifications.

Any possible alternative parts I should get?

Is my system bottle necked at all?

Are all of the components compatible with one another?



Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
