Hi, just looking for some fresh opinions on a new build. I'm new at this, so I am trying to see what different people say about this build that I have selected parts for through GooeyPC. Their specs listing is little weird, and since this forum does not seem to allow HTML, I am copying it directly from their site.

Rig Specs for "Entry Level Gaming Rig".
Est. Price: $758.90
CPU: 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost)
Power Supply: 600W
Est. idle/peak Power: 261W(idle)/577W(peak)
System RAM: 16/32GB
Video RAM: 2GB
Data Storage: 500GB
Monitor: No Monitor

RC-430-KWN1,CF12S-UBL,CMX16GX3M2A1333C9,WD5000AVDS,IC215PWM,iHAS124-04,VCGGTX650XPB,BX80637i53570,GA-H77-DS3H,GS600W

The above link requires a login. Just use a bogus email, that's what I did.
Thanks for any help.

Sorry but that is not how we go about things here at GTG, asking people to create an account is bad enough but asking that they do so dishonestly could get you into bother with the mods and admin

Please use the PCPartpicker site to put a list of parts together, once you have saved the list post the url in your next reply so that we can take a look http://uk.pcpartpick...parts/partlist/

It's not dishonest. It' a matter of "mechanics of the game". IMO, they built it that way - and accept that people will use bogus emails. Evidenced by the fact that they don't have an email validation method.

Anyway, not important, I see pcpartpicker does not require a login and parts lists are public. Thanks for the info.

Since I like GooeyPC.com better anyway (even though they seem to still be in beta) I'll just put the list together manually from there and post it here. I posted the initial list on their forum too, but I haven't put the updated list there yet.

Thanks again for the info.

Thanks for the list

What will be the main use of the computer please.

Couple of pointers for you (not criticisms).

You have one of the best CPUs available which is good but the video card is nowhere near the quality that you need and will compromise your build, benchmark puts it in 81st place http://www.videocard...GTX 650&id=2155

Your aftermarket cooler, a very important thing I must make you aware of is that you do not need the additional heatsink and CPU fan and if you did use it you would void your CPU warranty both AMD and Intel are clear on this, see below;

AMD;
This Limited Warranty shall be null and void if the AMD microprocessor which is the subject of this Limited Warranty is used with any heatsink/fan other than the one provided herewith.
Full AMD article @ http://support.amd.c...ox3YearLimited.

Intel;
damage to the Product due to external causes, including accident, problems with electrical power, abnormal electrical, mechanical or environmental conditions, usage not in accordance with product instructions, misuse, neglect, alteration, repair, improper installation, or improper testing;
Full Intel article available @ http://www.intel.com...sb/cs-009862.ht

You have not included an OS such as Windows 7 64-bit, what will you be using.
If you need to purchase a disk it will add almost $100 US to your budget.
