Cannot make up my mind - Help

Decided I won't worry about SLI now since I probably won't do it.

How about this mobo:

MSI 870A-G54 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130275

with this card?

EVGA 01G-P3-1373-AR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked EE FTW 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130568&T

Now that I decided not to xfire or SLI would a different PSU be a better choice?

case - Do you really need ATX full tower? mid tower atx could be enough...
Also, you are paying $30 for shipping...

Mobo - Usually recommend Gigabyte/ Asus over MSI

Do you recommend this mobo more?

ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

You can go with the computer that I got in my sig. Depends where you get it but I got everything listed below for roughly $850.
 
^ That'd be slower than his current built at gaming

That'll do just fine.


And yeah, I did mean 460, haha

Those are good quality PSUs?

Yeah sorry, decided to go with the mid tower, didn't update that yet.

Any reason Gigabyte/Asus over MSI?

Yup, those are good.

Gigabyte and Asus typically make higher quality boards than MSI, and IIRC have better warranties and customer service. Personally, I prefer Gigabyte over Asus for AMD boards, but the one you picked will do fine.

It would definitely be slower. I'll stick to what I have.

Okay I'll go with the mobo I chose.

And I think I'll stick with the same PSU, maybe I could reuse it in the future. Hmm maybe not. I don't know lol.
