Looks ok to me :good:

The phenom won't be quite as fast as the i5 but i think you should still be able to max it.

Then I would go for this:

CPU $189
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727

$25 for 200Mhz.....

this is all assuming the op will not be OCing

Honestly, this build will blow you away boldbrian, and it's well under budget with the monitor and keyboard/mouse to boot!

 

[vandassen]

How did I miss this mobo??

$110 ($10 rebate)
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO 790X (Crossfire 8x/8x) (supports DDR3 1800)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813131402

worth the money saved?

 

[Analizer]

Corsairs are like the best of PSUs.

not really... Enermax PSUs are way better the Corsairs, in fact they are actually one of the best on the market but also most expensive

$25 for 200Mhz.....

Nah...the 955 is a better choice. He can make up the 200MHz difference by simply bumping the multiplier up by one. That's a very small overclock...it'll be fine on stock cooling.

ASUS M4A79XTD EVO 790X (Crossfire 8x/8x) (supports DDR3 1800)

worth the money saved?

The other one has x16/x16 crossfire, and a few other better features...I'd stay with it.

 

[boldbrian]

Okay so can Drenlin or Vandassen

make a CLEAN list please. would be nice.

 

[vandassen]

Yes. The list I posted above has been edited to a final copy

Yay! Have fun with this build, make sure you read instructions for building and come back here if you have questions

If you want to spring for it though, this is a better mouse/keyboard set for gaming:

Mouse:

Keyboard:

[vandassen]

haven't used that mouse so I don't know... I like mine, no complaints (the one I posted)

but I must say I lovvvve my Logitech WAVE keyboard

 

[Drenlin]

Your keyboard and mouse are great quality, don't get me wrong, but they're meant for general internet type stuff. The mouse I posted has programmable macro buttons and a higher DPI, and the keyboard has programmable buttons and a flat layout.
