Is this a good $900 Build? (Accessories Included)

Heya guys,

 

So I've decided to collect some money (It's gonna take awhile though >.>) and buy a new PC because my sister is trying to steal it from me...Yes, that info is not necessary, but, is this a good set/build?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tuxU Yes, with a Razer keyboard >> So, total is around $685 without the accessories and about $630 without the soundcard. So, is this a good build? Or do I need to change something? Thanks in advance though ^^

At least it's the mechanical razer keyboard!

Yup! :D

thats a lot of cash for accesoires.  I'd buy a more expensive Motherboard, with some more options and durability, buy a better graphics card maybe and maybe some faster ram (from what i've gathered it makes a real difference on AMD systems)

Postpone buying the snazzy keyboard and mouse

Okie then :3 But I'm getting the mouse XD

you might want to check out the amd phenom II x4 965 (should cost about the same and will be a little fater out of the box.
i have the 955 myself ad have had no problems so far, it runs very smooth on 3.8 Mhz
would wait a little with cpu cooler, sound card and other little things so you can buy a little better motherboard, so the next time you have room for expantion.
you prob. want to add an extra video card in the future and perhaps an ssd to take full advantage of your cpu and mem.

(you prob dont need a sound card at all, unless you have a studio or are otherwise involved in sound. for gaming and movie watching the onboard is more then enough)

hope it helps.

Faster ram only makes a difference on AMD's APUs and only if you're using the onboard GPU.

Maybe pick up an ASRock 970 Extreme 3 for about the same price.  I wouldn't bother with the soundcard if you're just going to be playing games or if you don't have some baller audio equipment.  Save some money and stick with onboard.

Oh okie, thanks ^^ but I do make some music (Drum and Bass) in FL Studio though

Got it! Thanks ^-^

there really is no purpose in having a dedicated sound card, if you want higher quality sound just use optical from the motherboard, or HDMI sound output from the GPU

also buying windows is kind of pointless since its easier to pirate it instead of dealing with excessive amounts of inane bullshit you have to fill out just to register it, not to mention cheaper

Soundcard: okie then

Win7: but,but,but I really want things legally ;-; Especially Windows 7

While there's nothing inherently wrong with pirating windows, suggesting to pirate windows even after it's being budgeted into the system, is stupid.

Pirate it if you can't afford it, buy it if you can but don't pirate it for the sake of pirating it.

Oh ok =P

theres really no reason to legally buy windows 7, its more effort to fill out registration and it costs a lot, not to mention there is literally no advantage to buying it

Wait, so, it will work normally and has no performance drop by any means?

is this a serious question?

the only thing youre doing is bypassing the registration mechanism, which has no effect on performance and everything is normal, including updates.

Oh cool ^^ Thanks for the info :3 

Personally I would pirate windows and and then use the extra money for a better graphics card. Considering the price of windows you could get higher AMD/Nividia card. Always check benchmark scores though to see which ones are better the the price points.

Okie dokie!
