Well you can go with AM2 based system, I am seeing no advantage at all with the DDR3 memory when it comes to gaming.
Here is the hardware that will work very nicely for you and put you within your budget. AMD 7850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103678 Asus Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131381 Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104053 with the rest of the hardware you picked puts you at $543 before shipping Quote:
 Was that a serious response to my comment or are you kidding around Masaki? While you were building half a dozen machines I built over 1400. |

As far as I know HIS makes good cards but I have never used or sold one. Maybe glc can chime on that one. I recommend Asus because they have awesome customer support, they don't hide behind a website. If you have a problem you can actually call and speak to a person.

Actually going back and looking at what you recommended (the 945 with the Asus board) is actually a great choice but OP was out of budget already, my recommendation put him where he wants to be price wise.
When a power supply manufacturer begins having issues then starts dropping their prices drastically ($33 for a 500W, does that make sense?) to get rid of stock, wisdom tells me to stay away and not recommend the product to people. I have used the same exact power supply you recommended and several of them were defective. We need to protect the reputation of our forum by giving sound advice when it comes to hardware, people come here relying on us to help them not throw their money away on junk. That Asus motherboard with the nvidia 8300 chipset is one of the best most robust motherboards I have used and I am using it in a lot of my systems, over 300 so far with no failures. OCZ is black listed in my book currently, I have been in contact with them and informed them that I will no longer recommend them or buy their power supplies till the issues are resolved. I am not a significant builder in the scheme of things but I do post on several university forums and my opinion is widely respected. |

yeah well i went with the FPS power supply just because i felt like being safe. the processor looks good( i would like to go with the phenom but its OP for my budget so that will just be a future upgrade.) now im just currious because this is my first build.. everything wires screws etc comes with the things that i buy correct? i dont want to order everything and have no way to connect things

Yes the motherboard will come with all the cables you need. The case will have a bag or a little box full of all the screws you will need for the build.
