That's an overkill power supply, a downgrade in the hard drives, and a completely unneeded SSD. Try again. (Otherwise, it looks good. OP, it's good to keep an eye out for combos like that.) I know its an overkill PSU, its an attempt to meet at middle ground with the OP's choice. If it were me for t...
"what do guys think?" I think we can do better ;) Combo deal: Intel Core i7-930 with GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R (3) G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Low voltage low latency. Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2R5 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive...
Go for the Corsair Dominator. Is this going to be a gaming build? because you will be overdoing the CPU part and under doing the GPU part. If you plan to do any overclocking then just get the 920 because you can get that up to 4Ghz pretty easily. Also for a modern build you can skip the Velociraptor...
Now that build looks good. The only thing that NEEDS to be changed is the PSU, for $5 more get the Corsair CX400W Power Supply. The other PSU isn't really 50W more powerful
Check it out, no sales tax and free shipping at tigerdirect. This would be a nice build, and you can add another 4770 and crossfire it later on.

I recently installed a 4650 like the one Gerbil Jedidiah suggested (in a friends PC) and the fan was loud and the heatsink almost pushed against the PCI socket.
Get a netbook with the dual core su2300 in it, Acer uses it. They aren't in stock ATM at the egg, the black one is listed as deactivated but thats just neweggs marketing Link Sucks because when they were released the price was $400 they raised it to $430 shortly after.
Sending higher voltage to the ram can't kill the cpu, but it can ruin the ram. The i5 has the memory controller on chip, so a high enough voltage can cause problems. Not sure if it will kill the CPU in a puff of blue smoke, but I don't think anyone wants to find out. The RAM voltage should be just ...
Sending higher voltage to the ram can't kill the cpu, but it can ruin the ram. Your ram has tight timmings and uses a high voltage, you need to adjust the voltage until its stable. To make sure its stable you need to dl Memtest86+ and make a bootable CD, then boot into memtest and let it run for atl...

If your a student you can get windows 7 for ~$30. Honestly we could do so much better if you were willing to build a PC. It's pretty easy really, if you've done it before, its basically plugging everything in. This system is leaps and bounds more advanced than the dell build: AMD Phenom II X4 925 De...
So for what your doing, raid would be silly. If you had a server then I'd say yeah, but for what your using RAID is not a solution. Your going to do regular backups, so thats all thats needed. At the very least get a surge supressor, Trip-Lite makes the best. If you have power issues in your area or...
If you like to OC and tweak you might be interested in the Calisto dual core, its a phenom with two cores disabled. Its still has most of the cache of a phenom though, and you can OC it even if by chance the two other cores can't be unlocked. AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1GHz Socket...
I agree, but ideally the Samsung Spinpoint F3 is the best choice, it the newest and fastest drive thats not in stock, SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM Acutally it IS IN STOCK :D JJCDAD, definitely go with the Spinpoint F3 drive, I can't believe its in stock ATM, they will vaporize though.
