17 replies, posted
So here is my plan right now,
[img]http://cubeupload.com/files/fd3bbcbuildbros.png[/img]
I have everything except my motherboard and power supply, I need it to be under 900 dollars or a tiny bit over, Try and go minimum while still keeping good quality brands.
I would recommend you select only from

And
[url]http://memoryexpress.com[/url]
Or any other Canada based websites that are cheaper than this, and Its better to get it off of memory express because I don't have to pay for shipping.
Thanks
Gigabyte 790fx Ud4
Corsair 650 HX
They are on the sites
You shouldnt skimp on the power supply, so i would suggest saving up for the corsair one
If you buy a cheap power supply, you have a risk of damaging all the components in your system
I know good psu brands, like corsair, silverstone and ocz.

I was looking for a motherboard around 80 dollars, DDR2 support and the ones that came up had onboard graphics, does that mean I can still put in the 5850?
Why are you using DDR2? Besides the fact that it's probably going to bottleneck you later, some DDR3 ram is cheaper than that and will transfer over to a new computer should you decide to build another within the next few years.
you really need to get DDR3, I'm still using DDR2 and I feel very limited because as soon as I upgrade I'm going to have to buy a brand new everything

Change motherboard and RAM, this seems to be fine, I removed the hard drive for now to save money, I have 2 drives Right now anyway.
So any more comments to help me lower the price if possible?
goto frys.com
and look at the prices there
you will probably find all this a hella cheaper

This is actually local, So I can save on shipping, making it way cheaper.
It just says shipping and stuff because you can order online too, I can just reserve these parts.
Your in Las Vegas?
Thats where i buy all my stuff from unless i have to order direct from intel...
What they show online can vary from whats in the store, sometimes online will say out of stock but the store will have it.

I'm in Canada.
It shows the item stocks within my city, So I can see if I can pick up certain parts at a NW/NE location if my original store is out.
ahh cool. They are like the wal-mart of electronics, I go there for one $20 thing and end up buying $500 worth of extra thing lol
Which motherboard? They are both the same price but the one I originally had in my list is out of stock.

One in list

I have no idea.. I'm not an AMD fan...
First one is better Lemonator
So if I were to get that motherboard (MicroATX) will it have enough room for the Ram/5850 and a hyper 212 heatsink later on?
Bumping because I still want the answer to the above question.
Yes there would
Ok, thanks that was just stressing me out a bit, I don't think I will need anymore help then and I will probably have my build next week.
Thanks for the advice everybody who posted.
