New and first build, help!

[Gregmillr]

Hello all, I've made a build with the help of quite a few people, and I keep getting different answers every time I ask somewhere about which is the best for my budget ($900)

Here is what I currently have: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DpxO

I posted this on another forum, and had a reply with :
"Swap the VGA for a 7950 (the cheapest you can find), the PSU for a lower output, higher quality unit (Seasonic G 450, Rosewill Capstone 450, etc), the cooler also. And if you can stretch your budget, squeeze an SSD in there."

is he right? I'll be using this pc for bf3,cod,WoW,crysis, etc..

Thanks!

The SSD is nice but you do not absolutely need it. Id swap the VGA. Do you plan on Overclocking, if not you really do not need water cooling if your just building a basic build. For $900 you can build a pretty awesome rig though. Most people build decent rigs with like 600-700. Biggest thing you can do is shop around. Always make sure your motherboard can handle it too

I'm not going to OC a lot, only when im playing a game with high demand for graphics. So should I change the cooler, psu, and video card to what he said?

At the end of the day its all preference. I would say if your going to OC go with water cooling. Once you overclock you might find yourself being perverted by it and wanting to see what you can push your processor to. For Video card i like the GTX 660, 660ti and above. Again my preference. For PSU, please do yourself a favor and get something that is 80plus bronze,silver or gold certified.
