Re: Help with computer build

I like the idea of future proofing somewhat with the 64 bit OS. I do enjoy games sometimes. I hate having to worry about what I can or can't run or how choppy it might be, so when I purchase a new comp I usually shoot for somewhat high end.

Are all my parts compatible ? Any criticisms?

I dont see a 64-bit OS future proofing you / but thats your call
