Building a Gaming Computer

[kronosqq]

Hey everyone, I'm new here but I'll be building a new gaming computer in August, maybe a bit before. I have the hardware picked out but I'd like as many opinions and suggestions for it as I can get. Right now I have a total cost of about 1040 dollars with rebates. If you have any suggestions as to different hardware please try to keep it in the 1000 dollar range. Thanks in advance!
If it makes a difference I'll be running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and having dual, maybe tri-screen set up. Dual screen would be one 19'' LCD and one 22'' LED monitor. Tri screen would be the same but with another 19''. I'm looking to be able to run stuff like Crysis on high if not highest settings. Again, thanks.

If you have $500 for CPU + Mobo, get core i7 930 + X58 Mobo instead. It run faster on gaming.

If you want to stick on AMD, RAM run dual channel instead of triple, so 2 x 2GB not 3 x 2GB.

Video card - a bit low for running dual or triple monitor. I recommend 5850 ($300) instead.
To keep the budget, for AMD, go for 2 x 2 GB RAM ($100) and Phenom II x6 1055T ($200)
Or it would be better to go for core i5 750 ($195) + P55 Mobo ($150) for gaming machine.

PSU - I am not sure with the quality of AZZA PSU. Crossfire 5770 probably need 650W anyway. If you want 850W, go for CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX.

Wireless - get b/g/n

From what i've seen the 5770 has done dreadful for crysis, that was the xfx so i don't know how much better the sapphire is

i would agree with daisy, go for a 5850 or 5830 (better off with the 5850). the 5770 is great and i love both of mine but one alone definitely won't do the job you want it to.

i personally would stick with the 6 core, although the i7 930 really do rock. if you do go with that mobo, get 4 gb of ram to run in dual channel. i'd go with these:

corsair is a very good brand :good: i would also consider getting one of their power supplies.
