    Decent Build for $1000

    Hey, I'm looking to build a solid computer with some extra money i came into. The budget i set for myself on the tower + monitor was 1000 so this is what i have pieced together from some of the builds posted on the front page and talking to some friends. Was just looking for some computer smart people's opinions from here to see what, if anything, I could upgrade from what i have. 1000 is pretty strict, so i can not go too much over that.

    Build ATM -
    Power Supply: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W- 69.99
    RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB - 64.99
    Motherboard: ASRock P67 PRO3 SE ATX - 99.99
    CPU: Intel i5-2500k 3.3ghz - 219.99
    Video Card: Geforce GTX 560 Ti (fermi) 1 GB - 234.99
    Case: NZXT Alpha Black Case - 54.99
    Heatsink: Coolmaster Hyper 212 - 24.99
    HDD: Western Digital 1TB - 64.99
    CD/DVD Drive: 17.99
    Monitor: Asus VW224U Black 22" - 149.99

    TOTAL: 1002.90

    Any opinions are very welcomed =D

    Sorry cant post link to these from newegg, very little post count =[

    Do not take WD Caviar Green at that price, Samsung Spinpoint F3 is much faster HDD and costs $5 less.

    Windows7 OEM costs $99 you also need to factor in, unless you can get it free/cheap with student discount or similar source.

    Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
    Trolling should be.
