Hey guys, I recently decided to get a new computer so I compiled a list of goods i would like to purchase.
Any recommendations or advice? I want to keep this computer as cheap as possible without losing quality.

cd/dvd drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151188

computer case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121091

moniter (my old moniter has a crappy dvr. the model's dvr is faulty.)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009266

Thermal Grease
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100301

RAM: (getting two of these)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144461

graphics card + mobo combo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.545576

psu + cpu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.567477
am i doing this right?

i don't need a new hard drive because i had a 500 gig sata one so I think it's fine to use the old one.
oh and is the wattage for the psu okay for my processor and graphics card?

thanks for reading

Seems like a pretty good build to me. Everything looks alright. 630W should be enough to power your computer. I'm running an AMD Phenom II x4 + 5870 with a 700W just fine. So it should be alright. Also, i would sort of suggest getting an ATX tower instead of a MicroATX. Having a slightly bigger case could give better airflow and more room for your graphics card. But other than that it looks fine! Good luck on your build!

Thermal compound is not needed, unless you going for after market heatsink.
I would avoid Raidmax PSU, but that's just me.
Also, you sure don't don't have any budget left for sandy bridge?
Dual Core i5 with 8gb of ram is just very bad investment.

OH GOD 4.66 GIGA HURTZZZ??!?!?!? I see. Oh and another quick question: will a mid atx case fit a micro atx mobo? K tux
Oh and I heard something about the gtx 460 price lowering because of the HD 6000's coming out. Did this already happen? Thanks.

I see... what exactly is the difference between my graphics card and the one You selected? I read that mine could be oc'ed near a 480 ._.

Just like someone in another thread, the RAM in your build is dual channel, it needs to be triple channel.

edit: @Saif, that's a 460 SE, which is a lot weaker than the normal 460.

Lol I saw that thread but how exactly do I know what kind of memory it needs? Thanks

Also, I don't know if a 460 would fit in that tiny case haha.
