New Build. Opinions/Advice before I order?

[rjm6542]

My budget gaming machine. I can't really spend anymore than I have in it at the moment. Going to pick up a 19" monitor so will be playing at 1440x900 resolution. Any advice? Going to order tonight if it looks good.

Looks decent to me. Only thing i could see that could have room to improve is the PSU or RAM.

The only item in that I don't recognize is that off name RAM, Try and find some G SKill or OCZ instead imo. I like the fact that you got a decent after market cooler, so I figure you'd wanna overclock in which case good ram is not only better but essential.

I heard good things about the Wintec ram but yea, not a brand name company. For $5 more I can get this, Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ. I'll make the change.

Same price and faster.

Newegg.com - GeIL Black Dragon 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model GB34GB1600C9DC

Newegg has a sale on a Phenom II x3 BE CPU for $77.

Changed the ram to the GeIL Black Dragon. Thanks for the recommendation, it looks really cool haha. I just ordered it all, can't wait to get it. Paid extra for rush processing. I'm sure I will be posting here in a few days when I start assembling it. Thanks for all your help!

i can vouch for that case, good for the money.

Newegg has pretty zippy free shipping. I live in New England and it gets here less than 24 hours after I click the button, given it's before 4:00 PM and I get the rush processing. Rush processing w/ free shipping is still plenty cheaper than one-day shipping.

I ordered it all Sunday night. Tomorrow is Wednesday, let's hope it arrives. Not too speedy but about average I guess.
