My first build

[barbour2006]

How would you guys change this build?

The only thing i am concerned about is the Black Edition Memory. If i go to a upgraded processor in the future will there be problems.

I am new to this but stayed up till about 430 reading the posts last night and building my cart on newegg.

Overall goal is a good foundation that i can build on later. I am assuming that my single 5770 can be cheaply Xfired in the future or replaced with a stronger one, and that AMD is going to make 6 core processors in the future that will fit the AM3 socket/ 790 FX chipset. Below is my "shopping cart" build. So educate me.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor

MSI 790FX-GD70 ATX AMD Motherboard

OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
