noob wondering if my shopping list looks ok

sorry, tried to make it public. I'll try again. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Set it to public viewing and doesn't work. Oh, well.

im looking at the same proccesor and with a similar budget as you, btw, why did you go with the micro atx motherboard if you are going with a normal size tower?
 
DO NOT get a rosewill powersupply, they are utter junk. only get an OCZ, Corsair, Thermaltake, Seasonic. those are just some examples. more often than not, higher price = better quality.
 
I have had many Rosewill power supplies in the past, all of them have been great. Never a problem.
 
I think my eyes are going to go buggy. I've been going through specs and reviews for probably 20 hours in the last 3 days!!!
 
^ I wouldn't. The 5770 can max most current games, or very close to it. The support for DX11 is well worth the slight drop in power.

Ok, I mulled over graphics for like 3 hours last night and was kind of leaning toward the 5770. Looks like I made a good call. So, this is what I have so far. Do I need to look at a different tower? I basically want one with at least 3 usb on the front and an e-sata.

^The 520C one is about as cheap as you can go without them starting to get bad. It's got a single 12V rail with good amperage...something that's hard to find on cheaper psu's.

It shows [contrast ratio: ACM 100000:1]. I picked this one thinking the higher the better right? Hopefully I'm not getting my wires crossed again. :eek:
