That build gives me a rock in my pants.

yeah, it's pretty much dead on! PSU does'nt have to be so high though. overall, a very good build. I assume its a 1080p resolutions you'd be playing at?

thats interesting about the asus mobo did anyone else have any bad exp with asus mobo?

cheers in advance..

ya, all reports on p55 boards say to stay away from asus low and mid-range boards. Gigabyte would be my choice for p55. Have you considered the corsair hx650 over the 620? It is a newer more efficient design. possibly more expensive.

ya its not much extra so i might just get it, ty.

k so next decision is GA-P55A UD 4, 5, or 6,

anyone want to help me with my decision? xD

cheers in advance..

I would get the ud2 micro atx board if it has enough slots/ports for your needs. A great overclocker and very cheap.

its looks good for the price but i'm looking for an atx with Sata 6 and USB 3,

basically a board that will last.

GA-P55A-UD3 springs to mind

Just wondering where you were getting the graphics card from . Those 5770's have been holding their price for a good while now .

emm atm with the vx550 psu and a gigabyte p55a ud4 mobo its 1000.

that is my limit so hopefully people wont be suggesting a better type(more exp)something or other xD(unless its a must ofc..:P)

i would like to think i have it nailed at this stage and that i can enjoy this comp for at least 3 years hopefully more...

massy086

this looks like what u want

Graphics card is crappy. wouldnt pair a core i5 with a 5770. should be a 5850 at least. As for a PSU I would go for the HX650 or HX750. Especially if you maybe want to put in a second GPU for crossfire.

At the moment two HD5750s are cheaper than a HD5850, and two HD5770s cheaper than a single HD5870, even after the recent spate of HD57*0 price hikes. Seeing as a single HD5770 1GB can manage high settings on most games well at even 1080p it might be a better plan to get one now and another down the line if you don't have quite enough money to spring for a HD5850.

yep i really dont want to fork out any more so and i am going for the card from the printscreen 3 posts ago.

My last question is cooling....the haf922 comes with 2 200mm (front intake and top exhaust) fans and 1 120mm(rear exhaust).
will this be enough or will i need to add more?

cheers in advance..

Hopefully not - that's a lot of fannage to get with a case!

cherryghost

How's a 5770 and an i5 a terrible combination? It's definately the sweet spot right now.

GGspeedz
