Ummm wow.... thats like almost perfect in terms of quality. I would just try to find some better ram, the ram you chose only has 4 reviews and most are bad. All else I can say is "possibly" upgrade you psu but 400w handles what you have now. I would just feel more safe with like a 550w. But even if you dont change anything its a still Great build.
power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005 ram, can you suggest some Can you recommend a cpu cooler
Thats a better chioce for psu. for the RAM this will be a better choice too http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145220 Im not to knowledgeable on i7 fans, theres not to many of them but I did run across this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608007 I have the LGA775 version and its one of the best on the market this seems to be the most popular though http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835702007
the top of the line 1366 cooler right now is probably the prolimatech megahalem, aka Optimus Prime. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8...Heatsink_LGA_775_1366_AM2_AM2_AM3.html?tl=g40
Case: Excellent, I own one. Fantastic cooling without ridiculous noise. HDD: Good choice, if 640GB is all you need, that's a fine drive for the job. GPU: Great value, but why the vast case with only midrange components? PSU: A great unit, but for an i7, that's cutting it a bit fine. if you're sticking with the midrange graphics card, this will suffice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151056 Motherboard: A good board. In the absence of the UD4 at newegg, that will have to do. CPU: The only i7 to have for anyone in their right mind. RAM: Fine choice. As for a CPU cooler, the Prolimatech Megahalems is no better than the old market leader, the Ultra 120 Extreme. It is however slightly cheaper at most sites. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8...eme-1366_RT_CPU_Heatsink_Socket_LGA_1366.html
Gonna upgrade later Were can i get a ud4? my choice or Knuck1ez What would i need a 4870x2 for later? cpu fan ill probably go with what Knuck1ez said unless someones had bad experiences with it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608007 Oh and can any body recommend a moniter And if i get a 4870 now can i crossfire a 4870x2 later?
I'd also second the Acer monitor. They're not top flight but they are good value for the money. Currently using an Acer 22" and very satisfied.
If you're going to upgrade later then you should wait until July/August when the next generation cards are released. There could well be a 5870X2 (or similar) in the next few months. As for a PSu to run a dual card, I'd go with this unit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010 You can crossfire a 4870 with a 4870X2, but you will not be able to crossfire a 4870 with a next generation card. You may as well either go all out now by buying a 4870X2 or even a 4870 and a 4870X2, or get something cheap like the HD4850 and wait until the next gen stuff comes out then spend the extra money there. The EX58-UD4 doesn't seem to be available in the US at all. It's a cheaper alternative here in the UK by a substantial amount (22%) and all it's missing is the third PCIe 16x slot. The RAM you chose is actually much better than knucklez', but doesn't have a proven track record yet. The Corsair is good value, solid, reliable stuff. Technologically, the G-Skill is much better, higher speed, better response, better cooled, but in practice I don't have much evidence of how well it performs. It's G-Skill, it should be pretty good. Acer use decent quality panels, but the screens themselves leave a little to be desired in terms of quality. For low-midrange monitors I'd say LG, Samsung and Viewsonic. For higher grade stuff, Samsung and Dell.
Oh yeah I can vouch for Dell My 2407WFP was $600 2 years ago and it was worth every penny. Still the highest quality monitor I've personally used by far. Oh yeah I'll personally vouch for Mushkin too. Try this RAM Instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226040 Good quality stuff and even cheaper than the Corsair or G Skill.
