Alright guys so i am building my first desktop. I plan on doing some gaming, school stuff (computer engineer major), and then everyday things like facebook and what not. So this is a list of the things that i was thinking about getting. Money is ofcourse going to be tight, but I dont need to have all the best stuff right now, but from what my friend told me by building your own computer, you can always upgrade it.
-SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
-GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
-SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
-Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I52500
-G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR
-SAMSUNG Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Combo Model SH-B123L LightScribe Support - OEM
-Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, come with Five Fans, window side panel, top HDD dock
Okay, so that is the list as of right now. Please feel free to let me know what you guys think about the pieces I have chosen, like i can spend 10$ more and get a much better product, or i can save some money and get basically the same kind of thing. or if the product is just crap. Also I am confused as to whether or not I need a sound card? and what kind of power supply would i need to get as well? Thanks!
PS: I will try to get a new TV as well and just use the 32-40 inch tv as a monitor.
