Looks pretty good to me, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable me can give you more info. I'm only here to comment on the monitor. It is the same one I went with. I liked it so much I have two. I use it for all my PC and console gaming. You won't regret going with that one.

Thanks for the input, that monitor had great reviews and a fellow member went with it in a recent build so I jumped on selecting that one. |

No speakers?
Also, why Win7 over Win8? I'm under the impression that games are smoother on 8 now. |

So mainly aesthetic and its a bit cheaper. Also, if the sound is shitty i will save up and purchase a sound card and higher quality speakers. |

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Nightfalcon007/saved/Jv7v6h I know arfcom has a lot of knowledgeable people and I wanted to get some feedback on this part list I have been researching for my first build. This computer will only be used for gaming and my budget is around $2000. I am trying to get the most bang for my buck on this build, so any and all recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks GeorgeInNePa for responding in your thread, I just wanted to try and get some more feedback as to pros and cons of this build.

More trusted motherboard manufacturer faster SSD (over time/usage) also somewhat more reliable. Faster RAM Powersupply that will actually be used (load) in its optimal range. Case with better cooling (if not the best in its class) Videocard: lower price with similar performance, money saved an be put towards a new graphics card down the line. |

At best it just amplifies the sound. I don't think there is a sound card that exists that enhances the quality of the sound itself better than onboard. |

You don't need to spend $97 on a wi-fi card. Grap a TP-Link and you will be good to go in that department. I would go with windows 8. It really isn't that big of a deal to learn. Just different names for older features. Your system is geared for long term compatibility. I would think sooner rather than later, you will want 8 as that will be what most games are optimized for. I would also go for the i7..... Just thinking long term!
