Post: My new affordable gaming rig!

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay, nothing really important I just wanted to see what you guys thought of my new rig! I'm a student, so I can't go above $1,200. I haven't ordered it yet, because I'm on vacation ATM, but it will probably be the first thing I do when I get home. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Click to see the specifications:

Computer Case: NZXT M59

Power Supply: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W

Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair V Formula

Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition

Memory: Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB

Graphics Card: EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 560

Hard Drive #1: Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB

CD-Drive: LITE-ON Black Blu-Ray/DVD-Drive


I am also deciding to install OSx86, but I am not sure if my hardware is compatible. And if it doesn't, I don't really care, because MAC's suck monkey balls.

All of this cost me about $1,100, which I think is an affordable gaming rig, and the hardware should be able to run all of the latest games on the highest settings.

So tell me what you guys think I can improve, on a budget under $1,200!

I also got a question.

Will you be buying Call of Duty® Modern Warfare 3 when it is released, or will you wait?

If your going to install OS X then get two 1TB drives instead of one 2TB drives.

And if you really think Macs suck then why would you even both installing OSx86?

Also do you plan on getting two GTX 560s? Otherwise your wasting your money on a $230 mobo.

Yeah I'm going to order a couple of LED-fans as well.

About the sound card, my motherboard has a pretty decent built-in sound card, so I found no need for buying a separate one. And I have already bought an Arctic Cooling CPU cooler.
