Ok hoping to prevent pageloss here.

Some of you may have seen my build I posted a while back for a computer that could play Planetside 2 on at least medium graphics.  Well that never really happened when the gas prices hit me, but now I think I've got it.

What do you guys think?

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 7750
Mobo: ASRock AMD A75 FCH
RAM: G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1886
Processor: AMD FX-4130 Zambezi 3.8GHz
HDD: Western Digital 1TB Green
PSU: Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W
Case: Don't really know the name but its an ATX case

Total cost before shipping after all possible rebates: $427.68

Maybe even cheaper if I can get some more of my parts on Ebay.

Erro. Doing the headers first and the images. Give me a bit, coffee hasn't QUITE set in.

Total cost before shipping after all possible rebates: $427.68

Maybe even cheaper if I can get some more of my parts on Ebay.

buying parts off ebay is one of the WORST things you could do with PC parts.

plus green drives are kinda ew with performance, if you want bang for the buck then go with seagate.

other than that it's just fine.

Is it bad to buy off ebay because of the possibility things might be broken and no return/replacement?

I bought my HDD of eBay... -_-

that's pretty dumb. unless it was from a manufacturer directly that offered RMA through ebay, you could have gotten a broken disk. hard drives are one of the more likely components to be broken when you buy them.

hows the computer?

Your CPU may bottleneck your GPUs. And you should probably get 2 GTX 780s or one of AMD's new GPUs instead
