JigSaw Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 This is my list of parts that I am buying and if anyone with a good bit of intellect on building computers would help me revise/ make sure this list is correct with all the other parts and pieces I would be very happy. Thank you for reading this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Ok...first off the motherboard you have there is wrong. Its a socket FM1 and for that processor you need an am3 socket motherboard. As for the monitor its nice but it is not great for gaming. You want one with 2ms response time instead of 5. I'd grab a different set of ram...haven't heard great things about visiontek, could be wrong though. and i'd grab a different power supply aswell. you can at least get a 600 watt for $50 also are you getting a video card or do you already have one?

JigSaw Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Graphics card came with motherboard, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 If by that you mean an onboard video card, then that won't handle many games other than css and tf2. maybe cod. also like i said that motherboard won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tin Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Graphics card came with motherboard, Onboard graphics are badbadbadbadbad! Definitely spend $100 on a graphics card at least if you want to run stuff better than source games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct on the motherboard The monitor is fine, you don't need 2MS response The PSU is fine as well, you will NOT get a quality 600 watt PSU for 50$ He does not need motherboard Change the hard drive from a 5900 RPM to a 7200, you will regret having one that slow as your main drive. What is your budget? Do you have to buy from tiger direct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
