I don't really know what half the letters are.... but I know whats what.

Don't want an insane computer or anything, just one that can run games on better then average settings.

Yes. It is good.

could get a better graphics card as well

Don't listen to Taylor(Removed Comment lol'd)650 is plenty,

Looks like an okay build, I guess this is a second hand build or pre made from ebay or something similar?

Intel Quad i7 2600 CPU - 2500k better since ivy bridge is around the corner
16gb DDR3 1333Mhz RAM - overkill 8gb is more than enough for the average user
GIGABYTE Z68M-D2H - ok mobo
GIGABYTE GTX 460 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card - should be atleast 500 series
2TB WD EARX SATA3 HDD - 1tb enough i guess, it's ok if you need the space
LG BLU-RAY COMBO08LS20 - ok if you use bluray
650Watt MASTER TRUE POWER - never heard of the brand sounds generic to me be careful, psu is one of the most important parts of a system, can't go cheap here
Windows 7 64bit - what edition?
Antec Six Hundred v2 case - horrible case, looks shit

How much? sounds like a ebay build

He won't need a 'k' series CPU unless he plans to OC, and the case is fine, also the psu you might as well spend a pretty penny on it or else i believe your wasting your time on a good rig if you don't have a good psu, the 16GB ram, is literally overkill, so i recommend getting 8GB and no more if your on a budget.

Lol i7 on gaming Pc.

get an i5.

Basically yes it is good and if it's in your budget go for it. Don't listen to the i5 suggestions, while they may be a good idea in theory when it comes to gaming you didn't specify what else you would be using it for so your better off getting the 2600 or the 2600K if they're the same price which I find tends to be the case.

Hard drive is good if your not expecting lighting fast boot up times, but for gaming you won't really notice too much of a difference when it comes to load times. Also someone's bound to mention Solid state drives at some point but unless your made of money there's no need/point to go there unless you just want to put your Windows installation onto something separate.

Graphics card would probably be best to wait for a little bit since Nvidia and Radeon are planning on releasing a brand new line of cards which should drop the price of the 500 series, then pick up either a 570/580 and you'll be set with above average graphics for at least the foreseeable future. I have 2 580s and I run Battlefield 3 across 3 monitors on 2650*1080 with no problems, so a 580 would get you the highest graphics on most games for at least the next year or so since PC is kinda being left to rot when it comes to graphics.

Ram probably doesn't need to be 16gb and you could get away with the ol' 8gb but check to see if instead of getting the 1333mhz ram you could get the 1600mhz because it will keep you ahead of the curve for a while.

No point in really going into detail with the motherboard since chances are you won't overclock or tweak the settings so you don't need the high speced boards, just make sure you can use sli as well as cross fire on it and you'll be fine.

Blu ray player unless your planning on playing blu rays would really go to waste as I can't see games being released on blu ray for at least the next 3-4 years if it happens at all.

Windows makes no real difference unless you need something special from the more expensive versions, and lastly the case makes next to no difference if your not planning on overclocking anything so the stock vents should be more the adequate for the task, unless you don't like the look then get a different one.

All in all it's a solid build no matter what anyone says, all they are doing is nit picking with their own preferences, best of luck with your new computer, whatever it may be

WHAT.........................PLANET ARE YOU FROM??

@OP


you dont need an i7
you dont need 16gb of shit ram
budget board is fine for what you want
460 is a BIG wtf, and smells of clearance old stock rubbish
2tb drives are rubbish for OS drives
you dont need or will ever use bluray
random junk psu
an OEM OS is at least one thing that saves headaches
rubbish old case

all you really need is

CASE: Bitfenix Merc Alpha
PSU: FSP Aurum GOLD 650w
MOBO: Asus P8Z68-V-LX
CPU: Intel core i5-2400
RAM: Corsair Vengeance8gb 1600mhz
HDD: Corsair Force 3 60Gb SSD
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1Tb
ODD: Asus 24x DVDrw
GPU: GTX-560 1Gb
OS: MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Will be under $1250 in parts delivered from most places, add around $100 if you want a gtx570

So many things wrong with NinjaCrow's post that I don't know where to start.

With the bury button.

Done.
