Planning on building a new computer soon so I thought i'd come here to get some opinions, suggestions and answers. My budget is currently around 800-875 USD and want to use this build for medium core gaming(w/ games such as CS, WCIII/DotA, and WAR) and also work.
I used The Colonel's post as a guideline and almost identically copied what he had given but with a few changes so here's the list.
CPU: Intel C2D E8400
Mobo: GigaByte P45-DS3L
Memory: OCZ Gold 4GB DDR2 800
Video Card: ATI HD4850 512MB
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 500GB
PSU: Corsair 520HX
CD/DVD Drive: Lite-On DVD Burner
Case: RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black ATX-612WEB
Total: $791.54 (Including tax delivery charges, and mail-in rebate deductions)
So if you guys could confirm for me that this would be a good build and that it would all work together well and answer some questions, it would be much appreciated. Is this all I need to buy for the PC? Also, since the Processor comes with a heatsink do I not have to buy another one? Same with fans, since the case comes with 4 fans and I think the GFX comes with 1 also, so is there no need to buy another? Also, is there a big difference between using the listed PSU or getting a 600w? If you guys have any answers, suggestions, opinions, it would be much appreciated and helpful. Thank you.
