I have a few questions for you guys :)
1- What other parts may I need besides the Processor, Case+Fans, Graphics Card, RAM, Power Supply, and HardDrive?
2- I plan to do alot of multitasking + hardcore gaming. Good enough build?
3- I plan to play Crysis2 on High Settings. Do you think 775Watts is a good enough power supply to handle such a game?
4- EVGA GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) or a ATI Radeon HD 6770?
 
well overall that is fine, but you could get a lot better value, what are you planning to spend on it, and with that list the only real big issues are the crappy psu, you want a 550-600w corsair/antec/xfx/pc power and cooling/silverstone/seasonic brand psu, and you'll also want an oem windows7 64-bit disk.
 
My limit is around .. $700 or so.
The PSU is crappy? :( It's 775W ...

I have Win7Ult 64/32bit disk :)

the watts don't matter if it is from a crappy company, diablotek doesn't make the best power supplies, they aren't good quality, it will never put out even near 775w, and it will have continuously fluctuating watts and will most likely burn out and take the rest of the comp with it fairly fast, i'm putting a more budget effective list together now.
 
thank you very much! :)
If theres not much to change, then I'd like to keep my build.
1- Can you recommend me a good 600+watt PSU?
2- Should I buy the GTX 560 or take the spare ATI Radeon HD 6770 from my friends comp?

totals at 690.57 with 15 off with the promo: EMCKAGK24

will get really good settings in any game, the gpu is the only spot that could go higher, for ~70 you could go up to the 6950 which will max any and every game out to day, but the 6870 will get you some pretty good settings and high res on any game

and the 6770 for free would be pretty good, if you did though i'd rec to get a second one of same model or brand and stick them in sli, then take the extra money and get a x4 970 which has a 10 buck gift card promo now, and later on or now you could get a cpu cooler and the 970 will overclock higher than the 955 in this list.

1- .. I need to buy a heatsink right? XD
2- Would it be useless to get 6770, but also buy and stick in a 6950?
3- Instead of x4 overclocking, wouldn't it be better to go with a non-overclocked x6? I also want to stay at the top of computers for at least 4-5 years ^_^
 
the lian li one is the best quality brand out and 2 the antec's (at least the 300) have terrible cable management, so you won't be able to run the cables behind the mobo then out to the sockets. also look at the coolermaster haf 912, may be more your style and is a little less quality than the lian li's. and for the cpu's, this won't last 4-5 years, even the 1500 buck systems will either be struggling or unable to max games by then. and only the same model cards can really work together, so putting 2 different cards is pointless. and a non-overclockable x6 at 2.8ghz would be worse for it since the games that only use 4 cores will suffer and the ones that use 6 will be perfectly fine with 4 cores, really our current hardware is far beyond our current software.
 
This board will be about 14 extra dollars, but well worth it. Plus it supports Zambezi.

Change to this processor. The 970 is a better yield core then the 955/965 and will overclock alittle better. Plus its unlocked. With the promotional gift its only 130 bucks.

Or just dish out the extra few bucks and go with the 1090.

The Antec 300 pretty much sucks for cable management.

If I dish out the money for the x6 1090 and I overclock to 4ghz per core, will I have to up the wattage?

I'm planning to buy that 650w Gamer Antec PSU you suggested :)

Your fine. Even running a GTX 560 you will have plenty of overhead.
 
and to overclock to 4ghz with 6 cores you'll want a pretty good cooler to keep it low enough to prevent damage/life shortening of the cpu, a cooler manster 212 should do the job, you'll want the new one for like 35 since it has a few newer sockets added.
 
how many coolermaster 212's? they go at max 2000rpm.
the ones that come with the lian li you suggested (jonnyp11) comes with two fans (1000rpm + 1500 rpm). Isn't that sufficient?

We are talking about a CPU/Processor cooler. The stock retail cooler that comes with processors are not sufficient for overclocking.
 
yeah, but the coolermaster 212 is both the sink and the fan together, you may also need to buy some arctic silver thermal paste and need to clean the original paste off the cpu, that way it is getting the full benefits from the new cooler.
