BranHorse Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 For the amnount your spending this looks great. I used that board in my gfs pc its very nice for thw price. Switcg the psu with the corsair tx 650 and if you cant afford it then dont get thr cooler giht away and still grab the corsair. Just wait and get it later down the road stock should be fine. Sorry about spelling writing this one handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 not bad for the "AMD Phenom" at that price. Also another plus is the cpu cooler. Most people today just love "liquid cooling" in there rigs. But they forget how much of a pain it is when it breaks down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^TheRumor^ Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Definitely switch that Xion piece of shit for the corsair TX v2 series, you'll be much happier in the long-run. The upgrade looks good otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 As others said, swap the PSU. Drop the cooler, waste of money unless you're overclocking. If you're overclocking, that CPU cooler is not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaayer Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Here's that power supply that everyone is talking about. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020 Also, you don't really need to buy 1866 mHz RAM unless you're overclocking. I believe the processor you provided defaults to 1333 mHz, so you wouldn't benefit anyways. Instead, you can suggest going with this newer (and probably better) CPU + RAM combo I found. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.817174 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
