I am currently building a "mid-level" gaming desktop. I have the NZXT 410 Phantom white case, Gigabyte 990FX-UD5 (rev 3) motherboard, and the AMD FX8350 CPU. That's all I have for now... I will be adding about 6 more fans to the case 140mm and 120mm. So I don't think cooling will be an issue.

I am looking for recommendations on GPUs, memory, and Power supplies. I'm looking for biggest bang for the buck, like pretty much everyone else out there...

I have been thinking of running one AMD Radeon 7850 GPU, and possibly crossfire another if needed. Corsairs CX750 PSU, and I have no thought on DDR yet.

I plan on running Marvel Heroes, Diablo 3, Dragon Age... Sometimes Champions Online and Call of Duty...

Forgive me, this is my first time posting in forums... created two posts for the same thing, and I am getting used to the reply system.

I have updated my post with the specs.

Budget; Up to... $140 for PSU, $200 for GPU, $160-200 for DDR.

This is what I would suggest for you. 8gb of ram is more than enough for gaming, that PSU is excellent, and the graphics card is powerful, you could swap it out with a gtx 770 if you prefer.
