Would these parts work and be a "decent gaming build"?

[aj95]

heres the parts:

CASE: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119068
( looks nice and got good reviews )

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128341
( i was told i could do "crossfire" with my graphics card and the onboard video for better performance is this true? )

GRAPHICS CARD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102719
( i didnt want to go too high on the graphics card because im a decent gamer not EXTREME )

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003
( corsair good PSU brand and 450W should be enough right? )

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166
( 4GB should be enough )

PROCESSOR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103210
( am i spending too little on this processor? or should i spend a little more? )


Should i make any changes? Would they all work?

Thats it. thanks for reading.

oh and right now, im on Windows Vista Home Basic ( 32 - bit )
should i toss out that graphics card i mentioned and get a 64 bit OS and stick with my Radion HD 3650 that i have now, and get MORE ram? ( like 8 GB )?
or just stick with what i mentioned?

 

[aj95]

and my budget is ~500-550

Go with the COOLER MASTER Centurion 534 as you will save ~ $20 in shipping charges.

Cheaper ram: CORSAIR 4GB

Also, go with the BIOSTAR A770 bundled with AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
and take the saved $40 and get a better GPU such as ASUS EAH4850 TOP/HTDI/512M Radeon HD 4850

Sapphire has poor service and is known for not honoring their rebates.

thanks for the 4850 idea, as far as that motherboard goes, it got bad reviews as far as the BIOS updates go. what about this one for a little more: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813153113
i kinda like that one a little more because it had the HD 3200 onboard graphics.

 

[aj95]

would that motherboard that i just mentioned be a better choice?

 

[Beitzel15]

Any changes?

AMD < Intel

 

[slomo4sho]

Try this combo instead: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ with ASUS M3A-H/HDMI

hey thanks. so with crossfireX i can crossfire my HD 4850 and the onboard video right?

 

[slomo4sho]

you can do a hybrid crossfire with the onboard video if you have 3xxx series GPU. So if you stick with the 3870, you can hybrid crossfire. I would still recommend a better card for better performance though.

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119104
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131289
Graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121272

Proccessor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103272
i found that processor and decided to spend a little more for 3.1Ghz.
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166

Sweet. i think that looks like a decent gaming pc. thanks for all your guy's help.

 

[aj95]

oops i just realized i forgot to swap out with the ram u recommended me. I'm getting that.

 

[aryanenzo]

i have a 5200+ and i wouldent recommend it for games like Crysis or even assasins creed

Go with this MIS board instead of the Asus with that processor that you choose. You will save $25. Always try to save a few bucks off bundle deals whenever possible especially when your getting similar components.
