Just want some opinions on what you guys think of this possible pc build. I had another topic regarding the graphics card but it seems to have gotten deleted. Maybe somebody can suggest a better component than the ones I've chosen for a similar price. Here is the build. I'm thinking of placing the order on the 7th (today) so I would greatly appreciate some fast opinions.

i would sac a little speed for quad core... it seems like on average the cpus with more cores are doing better.

never bought that mobo brand so i can't say much about the quality but specs look good.

everything else is good..

video card depends on what you plan to do with this...

and i would look into the case. doesn't seem to have much ventilation... but it's big and nice. so it should be good for the bigger mobo.

ECS sucks. By a MSI or Gigabyte motherboard

By a Western Digital hard drive

If you're not gonna overclock, get the Q6600. Get it anyways, even if you do want to over clock

Your power supply could be a lot better

What are you planning on doing with this PC?

If you can must about another $50-60 you can get a much better case (many CoolerMaster cases in the $55 range), power supply (check out the Corsair Value series), motherboard (you can get into a Gigabyte or MSI for another $10-15. I'd also recomend going eVGA with the video card just to keep the step up option. Someone else mentioned quad core and I'd suggest that if you don't upgrade often I would go quad core as well. A little more money now will save you a lot of money later.

Ok I update the list according to most of your recommendations so if you could give it another quick look at before I place the order I would really appreciate it. I have class in a bit so I'll check back around 4 hours.

And thanks so much for all of your input.

$10 more puts you in a much better monitor...

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
