Finalizing my build - Need some minor Help

Pcassar31 · 12 Mar 2011 at 17:57

Hello Everyone,

After some tinkering i came up with the build below:

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
Asus GeForce GTX 460 1024MB
Asus P8P67-M PRO Intel P67 microATX B3 REVISION
Corsair Dominator 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3
OCZ StealthXStream 2 500W Power Supply

I'll buy the case locally and I'll be keeping my old 1TB HDD

Is it good to run most games that will come out this year? This is the second time i building a PC so I'm really not an expert. Any tips or suggestions are welcome

Looks good buddy

It's a pretty decent spec tbh. Can't see you having any problems for a good while!

I'm mostly worried about the 500w PSU that might be a little low, Also my current rig is:

Core2Quad Q6600
6gb ram
9800gt

and thanks for the replies

im not an expert on these things, but i would change the RAM to the OCZ platinum 4GB kit. this runs at lower voltages, has the same timings and costs WAY less.

i really cant see why the other stuff is so expensive, but there must be some reason, so if someone could say why i would love to hear it. it might be something to do with how much you can overclock it, or how much it affects other overclocks

Pretty good spec there.
If your going to be overclocking make sure you get a good cooler.
Personally I would get this PSU though: BeQuiet Pure Power L7 530W
Solid and quiet, same price so it won't hurt your budget.
