A few things

Hey looks like a good build. Just a few things to consider.

I would go with the Antec 1200.

the 5770 seems like a good choice if you are going to crossfire. if you want a bit more performance you could go up to a GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5830.

This may not matter to you since your rig will already be super expensive (but a ridiculous) but you can save a few bucks and go with the 955be. It is the same as the 965be but the multiplier is set at 16 and not 17. Since you are buying the Corsair H50, i'm guessing that you are looking to get a serious overclock. In which case the performance will be the same since both are black editions. Just mack sure that you get the c3 revision

Here are the two side by side.

Again looks like a good build.

Looks like an O.K. Build. But your budget? why not go with a 5970 instead? Or wait for GTX 480?

And why AMD?.. We need to know your budget..
 
oh well that psu is terrible. I have never heard of huntkey and that's not a good thing. Get a name brand psu. I use the vigor orion 900w which could be good for you. If you want, you could shell out for the corsair hx1000w which is EPIC. also definitely get the antec 1200.
 
I would go i7 with that budget, you got quite a bit of cash to play with. Also look into a 4870 gpu or 4850, the 5770's do great in crossfire, but w/ that bidget, you mine as well get the top dogs.

And that psu, switch it out lol.
 
no matter how i look at the price:
if i build an i5 machine it goes up by 75 euro
if i build an i7 machine it goes up by 120 euro and i cant afford that
 
The 5770 does fine for gaming. Something better would be a good idea for this price range, but even at 1080p a single 5770 is usually fine.

Low/Medium settings, no aa or af then 1080p maybe. Doubt he can ever hit high in games like just cause 2, BC2 or other new games. Absolutely not in metro 2033.. He'll never get a playable framerate in very high.

But it's a good card, and the performance/price is exelent. crossfire it to save a lot of money and you can most likely do high settings.

Sure if he likes low/medium settings, anything High or Ultra and have fun in lagging my friend.

Yea, i hear ya. I need this settings to have a stable 60fps: 1920x1080, High, AAA, 16xAF, Advanced Physix ON.

Once i turn it up to very high, i get huge slowdowns and i donno what the FPS is but it's not cool.. not a nice fps on very high, that's all i can tell by looking at it.

2x 5770 won't beat a single 480 in heaven.

But 2x5770 will do you good. You should be able to max games.. but why exactly 5770? Why not 5970 or 480?
