I had these parts with a AS ROCK MOBO but it ended up being a bust. Anyways here's what I have so far.

- Intel i5-3570k
- 2x Blue Corsair Vengeance Ram Sticks (4 gigs each)
- MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

If anyone could just give me their opinion on what MOBO,PSU,CASE,MEMORY to get that would be great! I'm looking to get the best bang for my buck. I'm not really trying to spend over 300 dollars on the rest of the components. Thanks guys!

PS I would eventually like to CrossFire the VGA at some point. Thanks again!

Specific parts too please! Maybe two options for each item! Thanks!

There is no chance at 1080p you will be playing max settings in new games.

Look up some benchmarks for NEWER games for your card and you will see that in order to get 60fps at 1080p most all games need to run at medium.

I am not saying your card is bad at all. It is a great card, but you won't be playing most new games at high or max settings with it.

Well, I would not have gotten those parts. You should have spent more on the GPU and less on the CPU.

Crossfire those lower end cards is pointless. It makes more sense to just get a single better one.

You already have the memory.

Get a HDD from Western digital or Seagate.
Get a 500-600w PSU from Antec, XFX, Seasonic, Corsair (not CX, CS, RM)
Get a case form Antec, Corsair, NZXT, Bitfenix, Coolermaster, Fractal Design.
Get a z77 motherboard.

Okay sounds good but I didn't ask for you to critique my choices I asked for an opinion on what else to get. The CPU is sweet and the money I've spent already doesn't matter. Quit being an angry person. It was my first build and It is what it is now. You could simply have just given me help instead of b*tching about what I got. Anyhoo just don't say anything at all if you can't say something nice. Thanks for the small amount of help you gave though. I also wanted specific parts not just classes or 6 different brands.

It's more like you sh*t on my party but it's all good lol. Nothing I can do about the parts now though lol and I don't really want to buy everything over again when I have perfectly good parts that can work. I mean they aren't so terrible that I cant build around them. I got them over a year ago as well so I'm sure the VGA isn't as good now. I mean maybe it never was that great but it will more than likely do what I need it to do. I had an ASUS gaming laptop 4 years ago and It was an amazing step up from what I had prior. It gave WoW a whole new feel lol. It got stolen though. =/ Anyways I'm just saying It is what it is and Im sure that I can build a fine little gaming rig with the parts. Maybe the crossfire with the 2 cards is pointless. I didn't know that to begin with I just thought It was pretty much the same as a more expensive card and I had a budget. I thought I would come back and add another when I had the moneyz.

Also, I mean the card isn't that low end! It was still a 220 dollar card lol! When I got it it was like 5th from the top. I guess, thats probably not true but it wasn't like a super low end poopy 2005 card or something!

It's the 45 best card on overclock.coms forums. It pays games at more than medium settings. Be real. I've seen it play games at max settings anyways so I mean unless I'm trying to play the newest game out at super settings I think I'm good. QQ.
