My question is is my build worth doing over the one in the link. My budget for this rig was suppose to be 1K so I don't mind going a little over but if my rig isn't worth the 200+ over the other one I might just pick that one up and save my ass 2 bills
Opinions and advice needed... badly
I don't know much about computer no more and just kinda threw my list together

I haven't heard much about the Phenoms but Intel has been doing pretty good as of late...maybe you should consider the i5.
I built myself a pretty decent i5 750 system / 4 gb DDR3 ram / ati 5850 vcard / 2 x 30GB SSD HD / case / heatsink / evga p55 ftw motherboard for about 1400 taxes in. Shave off the SSD's and heatsink, its almost the same price as the AMD system you priced out above which is not that great
I quickly did some price matching online and calculated my price match total: $1315.67
is this a balanced rig? I kinda took a look at a few builds and just copied them pretty much.
Any help is appreciated

I forgot to add that to my list there. Here is the case I got selected but I'm not sure if the power supply will be enough

I think you should look around at their specials, or try to price match. Unless you're getting them to build the system (which is a waste of $50 imo) you still have the option of buying parts from different companies.

Isn't that price about right? Since there's Win 7 and a monitor in there. You might be able to save a little bit by shopping around, but won't be THAT big of a difference.
I think that's a pretty standard build right now for the i5 750, I built a similar system recently, but went with HD4890 instead, quite a bit cheaper and able to handle most of the games out there (just no DX11).
Also, you might consider getting a CPU cooler, since the i5 is a pretty good overclocker. I got a Coolermaster Hyper 212+, a good bang for the buck cooler. Since I got an Asus mobo, I used their TurboV software to do the overclocking for me with just a few clicks. http://ncix.com/products/?sku=41337&...e=COOLERMASTER
Finally, get Windows 7 PRO 64-bit using the student discount. It's $95 right now, all you need is a student email. You, friend, whoever. Just need them to forward you the confirmation link. Note: Ignore the Office 2007 offer, once you get the confirmation email, you will see the Win 7 Pro offer. http://www.microsoft.com/student/dis...a/default.aspx
I keep checking sites for cheaper prices but cant seem to bring down the cost anymore
also I have no clue how to choose a case and am not sure if the power supply will be enough for this rig. This was what i was thinking but thats based just on the fact I like how it looks
