Might want a HDD yo
Yeah, you need one of those.

Drop the keyboard too. You don't need anything fancy.

I have the 750 and its a great little gpu

HDD ShmehDD, ramdisks are all the rage these days! Hook yourself up with a workstation motherboard and 128GB of RAM and install windows on it. Sure you have to re-install everything whenever your PC powers off or restarts meaning you can't even finish the Windows install process but who gives a forget about sissy-ass details like those??

rip Windows XP's "Best OS" Reputation
windows 7 never lost it's best os reputation

nooooo get the 750ti at least. one of the 2g ones

I will be buying each part at different times so I dont loose all my money(In a duration of three months maybe)
There's no point in doing this. Having one part doesn't get you anywhere closer to having a fully built PC.
Just buy everything when you have all the money, that way you can take advantage of price drops, or new parts.

Ok. Your GPU really isn't going to be that amazing. I rebuilt it from the ground up. I had to cut a few corners in places, but overall, it's a much better build. Assuming you can deal with a 21.5" monitor vs a 24" (I've heard that 21" is around optimal, actually), then this build is around the same price, with a GPU that's normally twice as expensive.

I got a cheaper blu ray player. A better PSU. A better CPU for gaming (most games ATM won't use the 8 cores of the AMD CPU). The GPU is significantly better. Your ram can take advantage of dual channel mode. You don't need another CPU cooler unless you're overclocking, which if recommend you do later if you want to overclock.

Also, don't buy the parts over a 3 month period. I know it's tempting, but deals come and go constantly on the computer parts industry. And if you do happen to finally open a part you've had for 3 months just to find it's a DOA, and your warranty is gone by that point, you're out of luck.

I beg to differ

Iv been using it for eleven years and had no problems with it accept for virus' infecting my computer recently because of the end of support.

You're 12. Don't talk like this.

Iv been using a computer since I was 1, didnt know what I was doing for four or five of them, but I knew how to play some basic kids games.

Yeah, you need one of those.

I already have a Hard Drive, Solid State would be a waste of money since I'm not planning on moving the Desktop so its not like i'm going to drop it.

I don't have any keyboards in my house that use USB for output, its all old stuff from Dell. I could use a new Keyboard.

Thanks, but the reason I did get a CPU cooler for the build in OP is because the stock cooler is known to overheat, not work at all, and many users had to buy a CPU cooler because of it.

Also 1TB sounds good for a HDD since all I have is 200GB and I used half that up already with pictures.

Love how you kept it blue like in OP

Computers don't magically just get viruses because they're not supported anymore. It happens because you installed stupid stuff on it

you mean the kind that only installs if you dont uncheck stuff when installing something from cnet?
