My Computer Build

[FireFox]

I have almost finished my computer build which I've been doing for almost 10 months (currently live on £50 per week) so I've been trying to get it as cheap as possible without compromising quality.

Here is what it will be when finished (all I need is RAM, Hard Drive and Graphics Card and we're up and running).

Intel Core i3-2120

Corsair Dominator 8GB DDR3-1333 RAM

OCZ ZS Series 550w PSU

Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB (OS and Programs)

Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB (Storage)

MSI GeForce GTX 650 OC

I'll be using the built in Intel HD 2000 graphics while I save up for the GeForce, so what do you guys think?

(Please be nice:P)

It is decent, but if you get the chance upgrade your GPU. Maybe if you downgrade your 2TB storage HDD to a 1TB, you might have some money to spend. (unless you really need loads of storage.)

PS. Shouldn't this be in the build log thread?

It should be in the planning for future build thread!

@Wauthar- Possibly but I couldn't find anything, every now and then the internet gets to the point in which its unusable and gave up looking.

And in the future I am thinking of getting a Core i5-3570K or possibly a Core i7-3770K (if I can see a need for it), possibly 16GB of RAM but probably don't need more than 8GB anyway, 750w modular OCZ PSU and an EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Signature.

But before I can do that I need to find a job and here in the UK you have more chance finding the leprechaun's gold.

Replace that 500GB OS drive with an SSD, even 60GB is enough for Windows and a couple of games, or if you need more get a 1TB hard drive instead of the 2TB and then a bigger & faster SSD

[Art Vandelay]

Get at least a 7770 instead of the 650. It's a better card.

If you can get the money, try to get a 7850, GTX 480 or 560 ti. All of those cards are in a pretty similar range and perform very well at a 1080p resolution.

You can get GTX 480s pretty cheap, if you can find them used.

This I can relate too, I posted my build in build logs section, called "Laugh at my build." Because finding a job is near impossible here. :P I'm from Wales.
