A PC Setup

[Sh1nobu]

Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H 1422
AMD x6 1100T 3,3GHz 3809
Hyper 212 PLUS
Sparkle GTX570
Kingston HyperX 1600MHz 2GB
Nexus 530W 82+
WD Black Caviar 1TB

Well, this is my penultimate new PC lineup.

Any suggestions how to improve it?
Making it cheaper without a significant loss would be badass, but you have to keep in mind that i have shipping issues, and some pieces might not be available at the time of the purchase.

I would suggest that you should wait until the new AMD processes comes out http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/24/amds-bobcat-and-bulldozer-2011-flagship-cpu-cores-detailed-to/

I would hold off of AMD hexacores. Intel's i5 and i7s are better for the price. Wait until Sandy Bridge comes out in a little bit.

WD's also tend to be a bit pricier in comparison to other HDD's; I suggest going for a Samsung Spinpoint F3.

I would also recommend going up to 4GB of RAM.

This, In my opinion, the Hex Cores are still a little....glitchy at the moment. go for a standard i7 instead, also get 4GB RAM, not many PC's come with 2GB these days except bottomed out lines.

...As in 4x1GB? I'd recommend going 2x2GB instead.

If this machine is for gaming, then you don't need more than 4GB.

Well when I'm playing Im using up around 85-90% of my ram and I'm using 4gb and since it cost like 50-60$ to get 4gb more ram I would buy it atleast.

Really? Because I ever get hardly above 2.5 GBs. But yeah, RAM is fairly cheap.

Do you really need a hexcore? Are you doing AutoCAD or stuff? Because if it's just gaming, you're not going to see any benefits in six cores over four.
