Hello, I created this build and I was just wondering what you guys think about it. The build can be found here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nd81. I do want to note that I did already purchase this build, when I purchased it the build costed just shy of $500(Since my budget was $500). The point of me posting here is so I could learn from any mistakes I may have made while creating this build.
*Note: This computer will be used for gaming mostly.
Looks pretty good, $30 for a optical drive seems slightly on the high end though - especially considering the budget of the build.
optical drive u put loads of monay
looooads of monay loa-looooooads of monay
I would go for the Phenom II x4 965, and change to a lower priced optical drive and put the money you saved from both towards a better GPU.
Looks good, but I'm wondering if that PSU will provide enough wattage. I don't know. I just heard that you should use a 450W PSU with a 7770. If 430 is not enough, then it might burn out. If that happens let me know, because I have the same power supply and I'm thinking of getting the 7770 too. Don't want my PSU burning out either!
tl;dr
he put a blu-ray burner in, didn't he?
I'm sorry I used this optical drive: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/lite-on-optical-drive-ihas124-04, my mistake. I would never buy an optical drive for $30.
I'll make sure to tell you if I ever have any issues. It may be a while however because I don't get the computer until Christmas. I had the same thing on my mind and I asked some people. They said it should be fine so we will see.
