December 13, 201015 yr I'm considering building a new PC since my laptop is fried to the point where I can't even reinstall windows on it. I want to use this computer for normal uses, as well as gaming (nothing super heavy, just want to be able to play TF2, COD, and games at that level without fps lag). Just want to know if any of these parts aren't compatible with each other or if there would be issues with them.

December 14, 201015 yr For the sake of niceness/convenience for your helpers, you may want to put links to your parts :^_^:
December 14, 201015 yr Why not a black edition of the Phenom if you're gonna overclock? (assume due to fan+mobo) E: Oh and, Corsair are funny with their new range of power supplies, they used to give you the number they said the psu produced (no one is interested in lower voltage lines). J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé
December 14, 201015 yr Thought you were since that mobo is decent.Why the fan then? Just looking for quiet i guess?

December 14, 201015 yr Author I had some overheating issues with my last computer, I just don't want to have to go through that again.
December 14, 201015 yr Laptops and stationarys are different when it comes to heat. You won't be overheating with an unclocked cpu and amd's own fan. 60$ is not necessary tho, get a pwm fan for around 30$ is enough if you want that.

December 15, 201015 yr Looks nice. Although if you want to play Black ops, you may want to look at a 460 1gb. This one is only $30 more, and will make a considerable difference. Plus in a year you can pick up another on clearance and SLI them. Two 460s easily beat a 480 in most games. Also, if you receive a monitor with a stuck pixel or dead pixel, it isn't considered a defect and you will either have to pay to RMA it or live with it. EDIT - Just noticed the 600w PSU, two cards may be pushing it. It's still a great upgrade though

December 17, 201015 yr According to Newegg, you'd need 735 watts with your current build plus 2x460s. Getting one should still prove to be a worthwhile upgrade though.
