Well first thanks for read, I want a multi-tasking/gaming pc, My budget is less than $ 900 I have a Case already, and a 2TB external HD.

So I need CPU, MOBO, RAM, monitor, VGA, PSU, and a internal HD


CPU

Im going for AMD for the price, prob the phenom ones, but i dont really know wich one would be the best price/performance the triple-core ones or the quad cores,
This ones seems that have good reviews: AMD Phenom 8750 Toliman 2.4GHz 3 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Triple-Core Black Edition Processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103295 not sure if worth pay 40 more bucks for the: AMD Phenom 9750 2.4GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HD9750XAGHBOX - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103250

MOBO

Im lost in this area, my rig is using a DFI but this one is in water and OCed as hell, i dont really want to mess with OC, just a stable and good board, any cheaper ideas?

RAM

Looking for atleast 4gb

Cheap OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227289

Maybe other brands or latencys?

VGA

ATI is my option HD 4830, 50, 70 (512 mb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102810 or 1GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102801) from $80 to $250 the last option, wich one should be the best?

PSU

Looks like i will need atleast like 600W so will be like another 100 bucks here

HD

maybe a cheaper 320GB

Monitor

Newegg have a nice cheaper 21 inch LCD with HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236051



Thanks and i hope you guys can help me out.

For what you want to do, I would look at a P45 chipset board and an Intel E8400 processor with DDR2-800 ram, a 4850 video card, a WD6400AAKS drive and a PC Power & Cooling 610 psu.

For runs apps like photoshop, video editing, multitasking (office, music, 20 mozilla windows) playing games like far cry 2, crysis, and the new ones.
