Hi all, this is my first project posting here on TBCS. I am building a budget gaming rig for a total stranger from school, Nick. heres the parts:

Case CM HAF 912
MOBO MSI 77T-C35 AM2+
GFX Sapphire 5770
PSU CM 600W MODULAR
CPU Phenom II x4 940 AM2+
RAM OCZ REAPER 4GB (2X2) DDR2 800
HDD Seagate 7200.12 1TB
ODD LITE ON
wireless card Asus PCI N-wireless
speakers Logitech 2.1
heatsink CM hyper 212
monitor LG 20inch LED

threw in a 120mm xigmatech fan plus some AS5

totals around 900 bucks

parts have already been ordered and will arrive tomorow. yet, i would still like some input and feedback about this list. suggestions? let me explain i went with am2+, because it saved us some money. saved $50 bucks with an am2+ rather than am3. saved 20 bucks on a am2 motherboard. found out that ddr2 and ddr3 memory is about the same price.

monitor arrived a day early! shipped from TN, everything else is from NJ. 50 pounds of computer parts tomorow!! Im very excited, it has been a while since i built my own, or anybodys rig. having hardware withdrawals lol

on the right is my monitor (25.5 inch samsung) Left is the LG monitor for Nick

again, i appreciate any suggestions for future builds. Diluzio91 and I have looked over this list and edited it a few times.

THats all i have. the guy i built this for took the computer soon after i was finished. once again, sorry for the lack of pictures. i wish i had taken some pictures of it all completed. i will keep this in mind for future builds
