    • LG Burner is probably going to shit out on you.

    You're booting off a 5400 RPM TB drive, it's going to be slow as shit. Get a very small 10k RPM or atleast a 7k RPM for booting and keep your TB for space.

    Why not get an Intel dual core, they run better and are threaded better, and with such should be coming a Nvidia graphics card. If you really want AMD for some ass-backwards reason, get a quad core as they are threaded better.

    Other than that looks alright.

    • I just threw this together and didn't bother finding any combo deals.



    You could change the 5750 to a 4850 if you don't need support for DX11 (this will drop the price by about $50). I didn't add in a HSF since they're not really all that necessary unless you plan on doing some overclocking. Anyway, this will perform way better.

    EDIT: Oh crap :x that's the US newegg. I'm assuming you used the canadian one?

    Even though it is 5400 RPM, the platters are 500GB in size. This means it is still crazyfast and has higher average transfer speeds than most drives out there. Most people only look at RPM and cache and don't take platter size into account. Take my 2 spinpoint drives for example, identical in every way except platter density; one is 320GB per platter whilst the other is 500GB. 320 averages 85-90 MB/s read, 500GB averages 120-130 MB/s.

    • Does newegg have the coolermaster 340? It's way prettier than the 330 imo  :mad:
