11-08-2011 6:28pm#1Hey guys finally getting around to doing my first build and just want to know what you guys think/do you have any suggestions on little changes I could make ect
The comp itself will be using for gaming mostly. Also I just want to make sure all the components work well with each other.
Forgot to mention that this build I'll be upgrading off, just playing with what cash I can use at the moment(hence the am3+ mobo, think I'll pick me up a nice octo-core for christmas:D)0

Wouldn't an i5-2400 be superior to a quad Phenom at almost any sane clockspeed? If you don't have the money to jump to 2500k+Z68, 2400+H61 is a good low-mid-range alternative
Given that CPU is more frugal than an OCd 2500k or even a stock Phenom you can also stick with the Amazon 450W so long as you keep the GPU at or below a HD6870

Yeah, its sad to say it but there's no good reason to get a Phenom II X4 anymore when the i5-2400 beats it at almost the same pricerange.0 -
