So I'm gonna build a gaming PC in a few months (need money for the parts), and I'm just wondering what's necessary and what I really dont need. I'm gonna order thes all of Newegg, since the shipping costs drop significantly if you buy all parts at once.
SunBeam Transformer ATX full tower case $87
SunBeam 680W ATX PSU $48
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 $190
Biostar Tforce motherboard $100
Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR2 1066 $50
Sapphire Radeon HD4870 512MB $200
Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB HDD $70
Killer NIC K1 400MHZ network card $150
Coolit Thermoelectric CPU cooler (i want to OC) $190
Sony NEC Optiarc Black 16X DVD-ROM drive $18
Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound $6
Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS $100
Hanns-G 19" fullscreen monitor $130
total=$1,479.46 after shipping and tax costs
I already have a keyboard, a gaming mouse, and speakers. Is tis a good build? Is there any way to cut down the cost even more?
