Gossamyr, What are you going to use your new computer for? What games? Once you figure that out go to the game(s) site and look at there "Recommended Computer Specs". It never hurts to overbuild a system. Your motherboard is going to limit how much future upgrades you will be able to perform. Also if you are running a 60 hz monitor no need to go crazy on the graphics card since anything over 60 will be clipped. One more thing, it's better to buy something that will run your games without overclocking...overclocking creates excessive heat and shortens component life. If you post up your game and monitor specs it will be a lot easier to assist you with your build. aj Mule 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bundles will consist of Processor / motherboard / ram and processor cooling. shop around and compare the bundle prices to individual and you will see that you can save quite a lot that way... Also no issues either with them not working together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
