why the forget are you building a computer?

why the forget are you building a computer?

Because, if you know what you're doing, it usually ends up better than a pre-built computer.

Almost all recent motherboards have onboard sound - it really doesnt matter

Unngh.

Don't even bother getting a socket 1366 chip right now. Sandy Bridge was just released and it it quite a bit faster and cheaper. The card you chose is old and pretty crappy. With the rest of that computer you should be spending about $220 or more on a card. A 1000w PSU is also not very practical. That computer wouldn't consume more than 600w. Shoot for about $80 and an 800w.

I can't contemplate why everyone thinks they need a 1tb harddrive. Are you really going to use that much? Most people never go over 500gb even with an assload of games.

I would also go with a different case. It doesn't really matter though. The HAF 922, CM 692 and Antec 900 would all probably be better.

Righteous, I'm using almost all of my 600GB HDD and that's even before I load my media library on. That's all games.

You're spending too much on a processor. You can get a cheaper one that is about the same performance for $100 cheaper, which you can then use on your graphics card.

I'm looking for a different one right now....but then i will have to use a different motherboard.
