Okay this is what I selected so far and I wanted to make sure I'm doing this right and that some of the parts are decent and what not. I appreciate the help :3 [B]Hardware[/B] Case- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066[/url] Hard drive- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148445[/url] Motherboard- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128431[/url] Video Card- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131354[/url] Power Supply- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371031[/url] RAM- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277[/url] Processor- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808[/url] [B]Software[/B] Operating System- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116716[/url] ----------------- I'm planning on taking out my current CD/DVD Drive and just putting it in the new one and I'm content with my current monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers. Thanks again for the help.
Why not get a 5770?
I'll browse through newegg :3 Edit- Does everything else look decent?
Budget? [editline]01:48PM[/editline] Overpriced RAM and you could get a much better PSU and HDD.
I'd say my budget is about 850$
Games you plan on running and your monitor resolution please?
1440x900 and I plan on running APB, TERA Online, Crysis all on maxed out settings.
[QUOTE=FuriCooly;22712092]1440x900 and I plan on running APB, TERA Online, Crysis all on maxed out settings.[/QUOTE] Ok thanks I'll try this build. [editline]02:39PM[/editline] Comes to $880. I tried to fit in a 5850 as best as I could. Not sure this is a good build since I don't know if a 5850 can fit in the case. I'm also concerned if the PhenomII 925 would bottleneck the 5850.

Is a 5850 overkill for that? [editline]02:46PM[/editline] Nevermind, I think the 5850 is a good fit for 1440x900 since at 1680x1050 Crysis goes at 35 FPS which probably means 45 FPS at your resolution.

I wouldn't trust that stealthXtreme for anything close to a high-end system. You see, although labeled as a "700W" PSU it is capable of only about 500W under realistic conditions (with real-life internal PSU temperatures of 45-50°C). In fact, it is based off of the troublesome FSP Epsilon platform. The Antec in the OP is a nice PSU - get that.

But that PSU with the build I posted will go to the mid $900s. Maybe OP should get a 4890 instead?
Oh and I was told to get [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116754&Tpk=Microsoft%20Windows%207%20Home%20Premium%2064-bit%201-Pack%20for[/url] instead of the current one. Saves me 50 bucks :D
