A PSU would be good, unless you have managed to utilise the tears of squirrels.

Squirrel tears provide less watts than pigeon waste.

Your budget has a nice range to it, an increase of 100% for the top. The first two items alone put you near $500 so we're looking at around $1,000.

Budget at least $100 for a quality 650 watt PSU. Maybe $75 for a decent case.
$250 for a quality 24" LCD.

If you overclock the i7 920, you'll be getting maximum framerates from the 4870. If you plan on gaming, consider the GTX 275. It's a better fit for core i7.

Should be ok, but as the others say, a PSU would help make it all work.

But i will use 22" Samsung resolution 50000:1
Why GTX 275 is better than i7?

^ yeah, and the GTX 275 is a graphics card, he said it would be a better fit for the i7 than the 4870.

but to sum it up,

i7 920 $280
Gigabyte X58 mobo $200-300
3x2GB 1333mhz $60
GTX 275 $240
Corsair 650TX $110
Samsung F1 500GB $60
Antec 300 $55
DVD drive $25

$1030-1130

Yeah a little a 1000 dollars should cover it,depending on where you are getting your parts, you would need at least a 600 watts psu to be on the safe side (you ould need more power if you plan on using sli/crossfire later) bu the 4870 should be more than enough if you play on a 22 inch monitor (1680x1050 or 1900x1200),everything else looks good. Personally i don't see the need for an i7 simply because i know i am not going to really need that much power (if anything i ll wait for the i5) but that computer will give u all the power u need for whaever activity

the first one is a lot better with 2x GTX 275's but you'd need a corsair 750tx PSU to run them not the corsair 650tx.

oh and they're PSU's, what you need for the PC to run.

and memory is ram, not storage, so you want 500GB of storage, not memory.

Power Supply Unit's, without one your PC doesn't work, it also helps to have a 'kettle plug' for your countries wall socket as well.

So, the first one is better than the second one, right? What do you think the price? More than 1000250US$?

not more than US$1,000,250 but it would be a bit more than $1250.
