what is your overall budget?

that psu is way overkill for that rig. plus, i would go with a slightly better brand, something like corsair or ocz. a 650-750w psu should be fine for that pc.

What is Overclocking?
Simply put, overclocking refers to the process of running hardware at a higher speed than it was originall intended/marketed to run at. Overclocking is often abbreviated to OCing.

if you dont mind newb question whats is cross fire and why is it good and should i do it??

 

[joh06937]

for that budget, you might consider it. it is basically having two graphics cards running at the same time. i am actually going to be running this mobo:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128441
with two hd 5770s in a couple of days (and am getting the exact ram strangehold put, hey wait, strangehold, don't copy me! just kidding).
i would totally go for the mobo at the top of this post, the amd phenom 955 b.e. and 2 hd 5770s if i were you.

EDIT: overclocking is making the cpu run at a faster speed than the default settings. i only ask because if you decide to do this you should buy an aftermarket cooler. if you don't you should be pretty much okay with the stock cooler.

 

[StrangleHold]

When you run two video card together for added performance in games. ATI cards run Crossfire and Nvidia cards run SLI. Some games scale better then others. To me running two lower/mid range cards is a waste, just get a better single card. Unless you already have one card and dont want to spend as much and just add another one.

Looks good. I hate those Antec 900 though. Well, dont really hate them, a case that has just been there and there and there and there

The Lancool is a better case.

i have he antec 902 and really like it. i do know what you mean though, it is pretty popular the only thing i don't like about it is it is not very customizable. other than doing window mods, you are pretty much either stuck with the way it is or you have to do some major modifying.

yeah you could always just get a single hd 5770 now and add another later. i would just suggest that because it is cheaper than getting a single hd 5870 and performs mostly the same as one too. but with this budget, you could probably manage to just get a single hd 5870.

EDIT: if you want to go the hd 5870 route, i would recommend this card:

yea i think now ill go with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517004 but thanks man you've been a great help now i just got to get a job get the money and then put it all together but hey baby steps right

thanks i really like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517004 and how do you cross fire ?

Good case. The only problem I ran into with it was. If you get a really tall aftermarket CPU heatsink, it can hit the side fan. Other then that, they are good cases.

Crossfire. Say the 5770 your looking at. You get two, install both, put one or two crossfire bridges on top and they run together. For the money if your buying new, you would be better off getting a better single 5850 for about the same cash.
