there you go, all said and done, its 758.94$, and you can go crossfire or 8 gigs ram if you want. (look into the new gigabyte sata 6 board, i couldnt bring up the webpage.)

huh, we agree? yea i thought i was going to be nailed for not going i5, but this is way better. and according to my benchmarks (which i cant find right now) the 5850 beats a 5770 crossfire, so i would get that instead, still keeping you way in budget, you could even get another 4 gigs and still be in budget.

A 5850 beating a crossfired 5770? In a few (older) games maybe, but in most games dual 5770's are close or even superior to a single 5870.

Why would I nail you for a 955? For a pure gaming build it's one of the best things to do. After all, it's gaming performance is nigh equal to that of the i5 and the money saved can be spent in a way that's actually useful (aka graphics card).

Another 4 gigs doesn't seem useful for gaming (yet). In a few years RAM will be dirt cheap, I'd not get them now. On the other hand, I could also say the same thing about a second 5770... :p 

I failed to mention I was from the netherlands so I cannot directly take the offers from New Egg. This is no problem as I found all the components on dutch retailers, but I couldn't find the following 2:
G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop
Vigor Monsoon III LT Dual 120mm Fan CPU Cooler Socket 1366 Ready - Retail


And for the videocart I found the following for a pretty good price:

Do you have an alternative for first 2 compenents and can you tell me if the vipor version is a good videocard? Thanks!

that ram isnt good, but the video card is, but unfortunately, it doesnt have dx11, which could be ok. look for RAM with low voltage, but more importantly fast timings. this is the 9-9-9-27 that you see, or in this case it say 9 (meaning 9-9-9-...). look for 1333 MHz 7-7-7-... or 8-8-8 or something in between like 7-8-7... voltage should stay below 1.65, and make sure it is ddr3 2x2 gb and you should be fine.
