New computer, review what I picked

[Fascinate]

it doesent work like that, having 4 sticks does not make it quad channel, 1155 only supports dual channel anyways.

No Quad Channel motherboard = No Quad channel

For just a few more bucks you get a GTX 660. You can play with this as much as you want, but leave the power supply and video card.

Actually nevermind, that does not include an operating system.....first time ive ever seen that lol.

It's not the same price. You didn't pick an operating system. Windows 7 increases that price by 100 bucks at least

Fair do's didn't know that, mine is 2033 so clearly 2 sticks is a much better route.

Oh what the hell, that has a b75 chipset! Ugh, it does look like the build from wal-mart is actually your best bet, at least that system came with a proper z77 motherboard for overclocking.

Supermarket computers almost never are overclockable because it limits the amount of damage users can do and the amount of problems the manufacturer needs to troubleshoot.

Graphics card:
That is a fairly weak card in relation to the processor you selected, you are going to want to spend a little more money in this area if you do any gaming. If you can buy from newegg this card is on sale and is a solid purchase:

I definitely wouldn't buy a $130 graphics card with a $200 CPU for any game. For standard FPS games, you should spend at least 25% more on your GPU than CPU. For WoW, you should go for 1 to 1.

Either go for a ~$200 graphics card 660/7870 or drop the CPU and grab a similarly priced graphics card.

I thought NVIDIA was better than AMD? No?

That card is not a gaming card, you will get flat out shit performance from it in games.
