core i5 750 - 250
Coolermaster HAF 932 - 210
Western Digital 1TB - 106
OCZ Fatalt1ty 700W - 180
Asus P7P55D-Deluxe - 313
Kingston 6gb 1600mhz ram - 190
Sapphire HD5850 - 400
Asus DRW-24B1ST SATA DVDRW - 54
Microsoft Windows Vista Business 64bit w 7 UPG(OEM)purchase with Hardware Only - 190
total - 1890
p.s I think you should go with my build, it has a better case so you can overclock further and a better gpu. If you dont go with Umart then go with pccasegear.com or 9289.com but I'd recomend pccasegear. I'm from au myself so I know what to go with. I would never get my parts from ebay because there individual sellers.

ummm case has nothing to do with overclocking. He is going to be able to overclock the 920 to so the 920 is still going to be better.
I still like linkins build better.

you think? the 5850 will support direct x 11 when wins 7 comes out... but i'm just saying for a similar price you could get better gaming performance, dont you think? I'm not trying to cause a debate here or anything but that is just what I'd go with

yeah, got that a little bit wrong but i reckon the HAF would keep the whole system a bit better cooled overall, due to the three 230mm fans

You do know that the 4890 will support DX11 due to having DX10.1 support? Any cards that have DX10.1 will be able to fully utilise DX11 (minus advanced tesellation effects, see google for more info)
And i think the 4890 would kill the 5850.. but it remains to be seen.
Of course, you could always upgrade later.

But the HAF would be better at getting hot air out of the case quicker and my bad i kinda got the "overclocking" bit wrong but it would help with kepping the overall temps lower. I guess i shouldnt of gone with my opinion, yours looks better since you cleared a few things up

Actually, the case does matter some. Better case, better air flow, better cooling = better chances that the overclocked processor will not overheat. But besides that, I'd just go with the most I could get for the least amount of money. And ebay isn't that bad if you do your home work before you bid.

The Antec 900 has good airflow and the case is the least of the worries when you want to overclock. Besides with the i5 or i7 there is no need to OC anyways those CPU's are more then enough at stock speeds.
