-
is a sound card necessary? o.oSignature not included
-

Here's a great thread right here c:
Hopefully, I can build my own dream case through this c:
-
what Ive got listed supposedly will run games such as bf3 or skyrim in hd (and it'll sound frickin' sweet too!) but unless your in the us or canada its getting a bit past entry level price. but look here - pcpartpicker.com it has an option to change the site for your location (make sure you do, i forgot -.-)
-
Just to make sure. Get Seasonic M12II 520w 80+ Bronze.:)
And get a 7850 or 660.

XFX FX-785A-ZNFC will that do or do i want 2gb? (budget so out the window now)
EDIT: actually, probably the MSI R7850 power edition (similar price)
the estimated wattage is 318W so 520W power supply would be overkill and im already spending too much money here! -

Check that site, I triedputting your specs but a little bit higher like giving it 2 high end fans and it got 399W.
520w is the most recommended. Why? So you won't blame yourself when your build won't boot because it's not enough. it's $60 only.
2GB or 1GB is enough for vcard, it doesn't affect much unless you go with multi monitors. -
Most of the time sound cards are integrated but I haven't found any problems with sounds on my pc or the older one. (both having integrated on motherboard)Amnesia Custom Stories , Home, Dead Space, Amnesia: Machine for pigs.

ok so now im shedding out almost £900 =_=, happy with the build though!
-
Downgrade your HDD to 500GB
Don't buy original Windows.
Don't buy dvd writer/reader.:) -
downgrading isn't really any cheaper for the hdd i have plus id rather have windows and r/w is essential for me
-
It's your choice.:) In the end, it's your choice that will be the deciding factor.:D But I really suggest t get 660, 7850, 7870, or 660 Ti when you're in gaming.
-
i know my gpu's gonna be 7850 power edition
-
wel bro you could always do what I did, I record LPs too (btw I love my slender's Woods 2 reaction xD I cant even get enough of it) so I bought a PC with an i3 Processor, and 6GB of ram, and 1TB HDD, then upgrade it later
but I only did that leap because My old one was falling apart, luckily I went out and bought it the exact day it refused to trun on xDSignature not included
