BUDGET IS NOW $1k
Looking for a better PSU to later on to xfire the 5770s
wow....I forgot to select a Sub-cat so I have to type up everyting all over again, but its not gonna be a wall of text, lucky you.
I'm just gonna list the parts i've choosen excluding monitar, keyboard/mouse.
Don't want to get a new monitar cuz I'm in California and the tax is gonna kill my budget Though later on I plan to get a 16XX by 10XX or 19XX or 10XX monitar.
I DO NOT PLAN ON OVERCLOCKING FOR NOW!

My biggest concern is if this parts are all compatible with each other because I had orginally planned to get the ASUS EVO AM3 but its not compatible with the AMD 965 125W processor and I don't know that if its compatible with the gigabyte board.
