funnyclub

Hey guys I am currently getting the bits together to build my 1st pc.
Here is the spec I will be building to let me know what you think.

Intel i5 750 chip,
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3, Intel P55, ATX, DDR3, PCI-Express mother board,
SAPPHIRE TECHNOLOGY Radeon HD 5850 Vapor-X OC-2 GB GDDR5-PCI Express 2.0 Graphics card,
4GB-Kit Corsair Twin3X4096-1333C9A DDR3, CL9 memory,
40GB Intel® X25-V SATA Solid State Drive,
Samsung EcoGreen F2 1,5TB, SATA II hard drive,
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 - Pro PWM Rev.2 cooling fan,
LG GH24NS50 Retail schwarz dvd drive,
Antec EarthWatts 650W power supply.

Let me know what you guys think.

Also I am planning on running win7 and installing it on the ssd drive do you think 40gb is enough and any recommendations on what way to install it.

Tnx Paul.

I think the eco green are on the F4 series now, so you should probaly get that. 40GB would be enough for the OS and a few basic programs but any big programs and games will have to go onto the HDD. Maybe scrap the ecogreen altogether in favour of the peformance offered by the F3 spinpoint.

maybe its just me but spending more on a gpu than a cpu doesnt sit well.
