Do I need more fans, and how long will this last and what should i add if i need anything extra for it to work (my budget is $6500 and i have $6156)

A. Wow, most people don't have that kind of budget.
But anyways.
Your case checks out with me, (I have the mid tower version of that case :D)

Personally, I don't care much about the monitor, except for if it has an HDMI or DVI cable, and yours does, so it checks out with me.

For your hard drive, I would skip a 4tb HDD and get maybe 512 gb to 1tb of memory with SSDs, and then maybe a 1.5 or 2tb HDD and raid 0 or 1 them. SSDs run a lot faster than HDDs, and at your price range, you can afford it.

I don't know much about wireless cards, sorry.

As for your gpu, I think it is good, but it is powerful with only one fan. I would recommend the AMD Radeon 7990 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150669), or 2 if you want to Crossfire (which, by the way, is pointless unless you are running multiple monitors)

You power supply checks out, it's 80+ and modular.

Your thermal paste checks out. (although a lot of the time aftermarket heatsinks/water coolers have them pre-applied)

You RAM is fine, but, with your budget, why not go for 32gb? I know you barely ever use over 8gb, but I would get 32gb for the hell of it. I reccomend Corsair Vengeance RAM sticks, btw.

Your motherboard checks out with me.

Your CPU checks out with me

I don't know much about ethernet plugs. Sorry.

With your budget, you could get performance fans, like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181041 or something.
Or get fans with LEDs in them, my case looks awesome at night with those.

As for your CPU cooler, it checks out with me, but I would recommend a Corsair h100 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181017) or h100i (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181032)
(What can I say, I'm a sucker for Corsair products.)

Do you really need 2 blu rays? lol, it's fine with your price range. But you could get a temperature display/fan controller.

As for more fans, I would get all the fans I could, especially at your price range. Look at Newegg's overview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JdfLmtW92E8) to see how many 120's, 140's and 200's your case supports.

I'm sure this computer would last a while, unless you somehow mess up the cooling and things melt. And I'm sure these parts won't be obsolete any time soon.


As for adding stuff, again, maybe some more RAM (just because your price range is like $6000) and maybe a temperature/fan controller that fits your 5.25" drive bay.

And are you seriously building this or are you just making this for fun?
Oh, and, hope I helped :D


Are these good gaming specs, is it a good price?
Q. First off I'd like to say everyone who 'nerds out' these questions while saying "You need to spend £1200" to get a gaming pc can go away since I know that is not true. Sorry for the rough start.

What will I use my PC for? Editing videos using sony vegas, dreamweaver, fireworks and photoshop. I will be using it for programming as well and most importantly gaming (Counter strike, Warrock, Call of duty, Starcraft, Civilisation, mincecraft, battlefield, homefront, rift and probably a few more).

This is copied and pasted by the way. I've already got a headset, I can get a mouse, keyboard, mouse mat and monitor somewhere else. Is this a good deal for £598? Where is better? Should it run my games smoothly (Not needed to be on top settings).

A. Realistically? Yeah pretty good and it can play all the games to a certain standard it'll probably perform well, if you can build your own pc with the same budget you can kill that one <.< 3x over LOL that being said you'd probably have to pirate windows 7 to cut costs but since that comes with the OS yeah it seems decent enough.
