What do you guys think? is it good build for the Money? :luke:

They should be just fine right now. Their motherboard used to need extra MOSFET heatsinks due to overheating problems.
Here let me make you one:

It's like $10 over budget. You get more for your money if you ask me. To shave the price just buy a cheaper case:

Edit: I wouldn't recommend any Asus motherboard at this point in time. Unfortunately they are turning into an OCZ type company. I have had to RMA numerous Asus products in the past and now I am going to have to RMA my $200 motherboard since the audio card seems to be dead.

Gigabyte in my experience has been by far more stable, however overclocking on Asus boards is a breeze.

Whilst I can't find any reliable reviews on that PSU, it looks like a cheap piece of shit. You can't tell me my 80+ Bronze PSU from a reputable company is cheap, and then recommend he get that.

I also recommend against that RAM, the heatspreaders are massive and get in the way of a lot of third party CPU coolers.
And I still recommend that ASRock MoBo more, it looks nicer, has more hardware features, and overclocks the CPU extremely well.

I've decided that im going to build this. i dont care if you think its bad. your opinion.
But one question. am i going to have compatibility issues? or will it be fine (ill be using windows 7 x64)

I can tell you like AMD a lot.

It's your choice, if you want to make it then do it.

There are no compatibility issues.

Thanks, I like AMD because the prices, they're cheap but good quality. eventually i'll upgrade to an intel i7 but not for a while yet.

My PC is an Alienware Aurora i've had it for about 2-3 years and not a single problem with the liquid cooling

Fair enough. Keep in mind however you will need to purchase a newer motherboard to support the next gen i7's.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask :y:

Would i be able to set up a triple monitor display with this? because i wanted to do that when i get some more money.

Yes you shouldn't have a problem. But the only problem you might have is that this GPU only has 1GB of VRAM so you may not be able to play all games on 3 monitors, some may only accept one or perhaps two because of the limited RAM in your GPU.
