Well, nice pc wont be much gaming problems with your build, so well done. Except i think 160gb HDD is sooo oldschool. Nowadays they literally cost as much as 500gb. So i would change that one immediately.

Also, what is the resolution of your monitor? is it 1680x1050 or 1920x1080? For either one, without antialiasing and very high details everything will be good, but 1680x1050 is also old now. 1080p-s are so cheap now...

Looks good!

Well done for your first build.

I would also upgrade your hard drive and add an SSD, it will really make a difference.

a better upgrade will be a better GPU or a CPU because it will have noticeable improvement on game play vs a SSD.

well i just got my 7770 it does the job for games but i am aiming towards a new cpu probably AMD phenom II x4

[Puffy75]

Great job. Way cleaner then my first build.

[Toasted Waffles]

Nice job, Clean wiring for your first build. I'd suggest looking into buying a liquid cooler for your cpu though. It will help with your temps in your case.

Great First Build, Definantly get a new CPU over an ssd, The dual core will hold you back in some newer games. But i would advise against a All in one water cooler if your case can fit a NH-D14.

[AMICLG]

I would recommend upgrading to a Phenom II X4 965 BE; the dual core will hold you back.

I was actually thinking of getting a cooler master blizzard t2 im a pretty poor guy i try to find the cheapest parts i can and reliable

A better quad core would be a great improvement. And as most guys suggested the 160GB HDD should be upgraded to 1TB drive or keep it and add an SSD. You did a good in cable management. I would also suggest adding another fan for better cooling if ever upgraded your CPU or graphics card.

Well in that case if the Coolermaster hyper212 evo is available in your area it would be a good choice. They have the best bang for buck.

I love that ppl still mention my CPU, it warms my heart *tears*

Also, nice first build it will serve you well for at least a couple years. Add a ssd if u can.

I would agree.  SSDs will only contribute to load times when it comes to gaming.  If you were looking into buying an SSD, you would be better off sinking it into a new GPU or CPU.
