Changing the thread to something important.
Mitch, you watching this Germany - Brazil game? It's a joke. Brazil is getting around the German defense with ease but can't make a play. Germany makes nice plays but can't take a decent shot for their lives. and LoL at the guy named Trash.
Edit I'd rather watch the London riots spill over into the England - Holland game. Shouldn't of been clanced.

PSU is underpowered
Motherboard is a Biostar, wtf man.
Might as well get 3x2gig packs and get 6 gigs of ram, its pretty much the same price these days. Gskill is solid ram, and much cheaper than kingston.
TB harddrives are like.. 10 dollars more than 500gigs. get yourself the extra space and just partition it into a storage and a main.
otherwise, seems ok. not a fan of the case either, but thats preference nothing else.

well to be honest, I am going to have to say;
1. I can't back up biostar because I have never used their product.
2. However based on the specifications; I don't see any issues with this build other then minor improvements, the customer would want.
3. The power supply is name brand but lower end model; It will out power most 700w power supplies. Also, 80Plus cert.
b. If the powersupply maintains consistant flow of power, and does not fluctuate much. The longevity of other components will last.
4. Depending on the support service BIOSTAR has, the overclocking capabilities seem achievable , however you are also on the i5 instead of the i7 .
5. The overall build it the best band for the buck. If that is the price range you can afford, well done. You divided the total cost to all of your components istead of the video card. However achieved a sandy bridge 3.7G QUAD CORE.

It really depends on if you're intending to do any overclocking or not.. and whether it'll only be a mild amount or trying to push for high speeds.
- You'll want to invest in a higher watt PSU.. you'll be thankful a few years later when you don't need to purchase another
- unpro wants you to go for less ram? lol.. that's only really necessary if you are intending to overclock the ram quite a bit
- Biostar and ASRock are coming up as decent brands to use if you're not intending to overclock much
Aside from that, I haven't kept up with AMD vs. Intel with P/P (price per performance) or AMD vs. nVIDIA to adequately judge your CPU and GPU.

It looks weak against a 4gate.

Depends on how fast the mobo can pump out roaches
