Hey everyone!
This is my 1st post here and I'd like some opinions on a machine I plan on building.
Also need to know if everything will fit together nicely and be 100% stable.
Thanks in advance.


CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T OR AMD Phenom II X6 1045T 2.7GHz

Motherboard: Asus Motherboard M5A88-M AMD AM3+ 880GB/SB850

RAM: 16gb (4x4gb) RIPJAWSX 1600mhz

HDD: 60gb Samsung 830 SSD

GPU (TEMPORARY): ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB Graphics

Case/PSU: Thermaltake Black Commander MS-I

what is your budget? where do you live?

SSD's are cool and junk, but 60 Gb as your only drive is really going to limit what you can do, as for best results you can only use about 80% of that.
 
As was asked, what PSU?
If you have other drives to pair with the SSD for storage then that's fine. I used a 64GB SSD for the longest time paired with a 160GB HDD.

If this rig will be used for gaming after upgrading the GPU then there is no point in buying 16GB of RAM. You can save a few bucks by simply getting 8GB.

You could probably get a better PC if the budget wasn't so low, but Aus prices are just so high for PC parts.
 
I'll be using this for mostly video editing high-level :)
So will this build be stable?
Also, PSU will be anything good and cheap, probs just another 120mm fan
 
Ah ok, if you are doing that then go ahead and keep the 16GB of RAM.

Don't cheap out on the PSU. Grab a Corsair, Antec, or Seasonic. You also want to make sure it is at least 550w.
 
The case comes with a 500 l, is that enough?
Also is there anything I could that is.better than the cpu that I chose but not too much more in cost?
