New Gaming PC

Hey people im looking for some advise

Im building a new rig and im having problems choosing my mobo,

Build details:

Antec 900
Corsair 620W Modular
AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition
OCZ Reaper HPC DDR3 1333MHz 4GB Kit CL6 ( 6-6-6-18 )
Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA2 32MB 7200RPM
Sapphire "Vapor-X" Radeon HD 4890 1GB
Samsung DVD±RW burner, SH-S223Q, SATA

Samsung 23" LCD Syncmaster 2333SW (1080p)

Any suggestions so far?

Basically i think the only thing left to decide on is my mobo...

atm its an Asus M4A78T-E VS a Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P

or possibly a GA-MA790FXT-UD5P (is it really worth the extra money?)...

any advise would be greatly apreciated!

thanks for the reply

why choose the UD4P over the asus?


Ive heard excellent things about that ram in relation to overclocking etc. so i dont mind spending the extra for some ddr3 that will last for a while.

Yeah that PSU seemes to be the best bang for buck modular psu, went for modular due to easier cable management etc but its not a big deal. But I think you're right, im going to go for the 750w corsair (also cheaper)

The 900 seems to be the best bang for buck case out there, very cool temp wise, from what Ive read though the 902 just doesent seem to be worth the extra £20...

Is the scythe suitable for am3?


Im basically building this from scratch, nothing is worth taking from my old pc.

BTW ive decided to just get everything on komplett to save on shipping costs, the prices after £ to € conversion are almost exactly the same anyway (and faster delivery to Ireland).

I could come with this config for around €1100 from that site...

X4 955
Gigabyte 790XT
Crucail 4GB DDR3
Antec 900
Corsair 750TX
HD4890 (Same)
1TB HDD
Monitor(Same)
Xig Dark Knight CPU cooler

Thanks alot for the replies

taking everything into account, heres what Im thinking




Antec Nine Hundred
Excellent cooling, will mod to improve cable management

Corsair 650w
Chances are I wont be xfiring, an upgrade to a better single card is more likely

AMD Phenom II 720 Black Edition
Excellent bang for buck vs intel counterpart, unlocking 4th core possible

Asus M4A78T-E
new bios updates have fixed many of the problems it had, seems to have more/better features than the GB UD4P

OCZ Reaper HPC DDR3 1333MHz 4GB
Great reviews, recommended by many people, slightly expensive but good ddr3 for future builds

Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATAII
Great reviews, 32mb cache, relatively low cost

Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 "VAPOR-X",
Excellent reviews

Samsung DVD±RW burner, SH-S223Q SATA
Low cost, good reviews

Xigmatek Dark Knight S1283 CPU Cooler
Excellent reviews, Good value for money

Samsung 2333sw 23"
Again, excellent reviews

Logitech mx 518 + logitech wave corded keyboard
Great value for money

Thanks for the reply
Yeah I thaught so too but ive read that some people only recieved a vga cable with theirs,
I may buy it just to be safe..

Thanks for the advice

I've added OCZ freeZe Extreme to the basket...

also, I contacted komplett and turns out the monitor does included a dvi cable afterall.

Any other suggestions about the build?

If not ill be making the order tomorrow evening
