Gaming PC: $800

[sugi123]

Guys, I have a new system build budget of $800.

I have narrowed it down to these components:

-ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
-AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Black Processor (CPU/Mobo combo $185)
-OCZ StealthXStream OCZ700SXS 700W ($85)
-Wintec DDR21066 4.00 GB ($35)
-Hard Drive (Have already)
---
total so far: gives me around $490 left over for Graphics card, case, and misc items.

This is where I am stuck... the graphics card.
I was initially leaning towards 2 4850x2's for ~190 each and put 50 or so towards a decent case. However, I might have to then increase the size of my power supply, which would in turn fall over budget. I need to be able to run Crysis DX10 in 1920x1200 max ultra high. Would a crossfire 4850 Setup be enough? Please guide me.

-thanks

You cannot use DDR3 ram on a M4A78T board, all of the boards ending in T are DDR3 only. Where are you located and where are you buying from because there are often equivalent items for cheaper if you get help shopping around.

2 4850x2's are going to put out alot of heat so make sure that case has good air flow

go with xfire 4870 1GB's...... less power and should easily handle what you want.
