Hello,
I'm building a new gaming pc and I just wanted to as kyou guys what you think of my sellection so far and if you have any suggestions. My budget is €500-600. Also I already have windows 64 bit, keyboard and a monitor and I can get some extra cooling from a friend. What kind of games can this pc run and a what quality?
This is what I have selected so far:

CPU:
AMD Phenom II X4 965
Quad core 3.4 Mhz
€85,60

Motherboard:
Asus M5A78L LE
€64,80

Case:
Cooler Master RC-430-KWN1
€39,40

Powersupply:
Xilence SPS-XP550.(12)R3
€38,20

RAM:
Corsair 2X4GB DDR3, 1600Mhz, 240pin DIMM
€41,10

Hard disc drive:
Seagate ST31000524AS
€69,80

DVD player:
LG GH22NS70
€16,50

Graphics card:
Sapphire HD 7770 GHz OC 1GB GDDR5
€123,00

Total: €478,40
 
that PSU is not the best. Get something from Antec, Corsair, OCZ, NZXT, PC power and cooling, seasonic, silverstone, or XFX.
 
yes. That one is much better.

And it should run any game out there. Might not max them depending on the resolution, but you will be able to play anything.
 
Thanks for your reply, could I run Skyrim at ultra? I'm asking because a friend of mine build a 400 euro pc last year and he can run it at ultra...
 
You'll be able to play it on ultra with 30fps I think.
If you could get an hd6870, then it will go fluently.
On what resolution do you play? Your friend has a small resolution, thats why he's able to play it on ultra.
 
I have changed the psu and I'm not sure about the gpu yet this is my new list:
CPU:
AMD Phenom II X4 965
Quad core 3.4 Mhz
€85,60

Motherboard:
Asus M5A78L LE
€64,80

Case:
Cooler Master RC-430-KWN1
€39,40

Powersupply:
Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2EU
€ 58,40

RAM:
Corsair 2X4GB DDR3, 1600Mhz, 240pin DIMM
€41,10

Hard disc drive:
Seagate ST31000524AS
€69,80

DVD player:
LG GH22NS70
€16,50

Graphics card:
Sapphire HD 7770 GHz OC 1GB GDDR5
€123,00
Or:
sapphire hd 6870
€162,10
Or:
Sapphire HD 7850 2GB OC GDDR5
€195,90


Total: €498,6 or €537,7, or €571,5 (depending on the gpu)
Is the rest of my selection compatible with these cards? (no bottlenecks?)
And is there a lot of difference between these cards? And which games should I be able to play at high or max settings with each of them? (Sorry if my english is bad, it isn't my native language...)
Thanks in advance

Go with the hd7770 and take an i3 3240 with a z77 board
 
The calculation part is better with the hd6850, but the gaming part it's almost the same (it depends on which game).
I should go with an hd7770 because it's newer, uses less power and has better driver support.
