Look on newegg for better prices and support.

Power supply are a big deal, actually. You don't want to get a cheap one and have it fail and bring your system with it.

Look for an AM3+ board and might want to consider waiting till the new bulldozer CPUs are out.

That RAM is 1.65v. Look for 1.5v. Corsair and G. Skill are the best brands.

What resolution are you thinking of using? 1GB of GDDR is enough for 1080p.
 
and drop the caviar black for a blue/seagate barracuda/samsung/hitatchi, anything at 7200rpm is fast enough, and a black isn't worth the extra money and less space, they are barely faster and you won't notice much difference, really you could do alot better for that budget, also a x4 955 is more than enough of a processor, especially since bulldozer, the next gen of amd cpu's, is coming out in the next few months, befor the end of the year, most likely before the end of september, and they will begin at 190 from current details, but there is no set price other than the top model will be around 300

Change the motherboard to a 970 chipset. Look for the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 . Good little board.

Plus you could save a few bucks and get a Phenom II 1090BE. Both clock about the same.

The Cooler Master V8 is a good cooler. I'm not a fan of it, but it will work fine.

Running a singe 6950, get a 650/750W so you will have some overhead. Look for a XFX/Seasonic/Corsair/PC Power & Cooling/Antec/Silverstone.

I (would not) take a blue over a black Western Digital. A blue/green are ok for a storage drive.

Hitatchi drives more or less suck.

Stay with a W/D black/Samsung or Seagate.

what you mean here please can someone tell me ?!?

thanks all for the help ^_^
 
strangle was recommending a few brands and what wattage to get for the psu.

y no egg man

those are decent ram, but way cheaper on newegg

if you're getting an am3+, then i'd say get a cheaper cpu like the athlon x2 250 or something and when bulldozer comes out in a few months, september supposedly, befor then end of the year, then you can stick the athlon on ebay and get the bulldozer, or a phenom 955 is a great chip and will work jast as good as the 1090t in everything but video creation and en/decoding, where more cores are used, but in gams 2 cores are normally all that's used, some use 4, almost 0 use 6 or more.

if you aren't overclocking then no need for the antec kuhler, don't forget your power supply or to get an os disk, unless you plan to use ubuntu or other linux distros, but you'd need practice with them as they are hard to get to work alot of the time, at least for my stupid computer, and also a case might help.
 
will just use same hard disk for OS and Data gonna split it c and d or do i need os disk just to keep up with other parts like ssd don't know much about them but i think this will work fine.

maybe like this: Kingston SSDNow V100 64GB
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-SSDNow-Solid-SV100S2-64GZ/dp/B004BDORM4/ref=pd_cp_e_4
with SILVERSTONE SDP08 3.5 to 2 X 2.5-Inch Bay Converter
http://www.amazon.com/SILVERSTONE-SDP08-3-5-2-5-Inch-Converter/dp/B002BH3Z8E/ref=pd_cp_e_1

or change the WD 750gb with ssd-like something: Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB 7200RPM
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Momentus-7200RPM-Hybrid-ST95005620AS-Bare/dp/B003NSBF32/ref=pd_cp_e_3

can you just give us a list of everything you are getting, the case the parts and just everything, then we can see what to do, but i don't think hybrid drives are worth it, and kingston are supposed to be the low end ssd's, and for the os disk, you have to have it to have something to run on, without it you can't install windows, so you won't be able to do anything unless you use ubuntu, but you'd need to practice it on what you got now cuz it takes some skill to use correctly
 
mostly this for cae not sure yet.
