Opinions please

Hi I would just like some opinions on my components for my new pc, this is what I bought.

Mobo: TA790GX A3+ 5.x
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 CPU Quad- core (4 x 3.4GHz)
Memory: 4GB kit (2GBx2), Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 1600 PC3-12800
Hard Drive: SAMSUNG Spinpoint 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
Graphics: HIS H567Q1G Radeon HD 5670 (Redwood) IceQ 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity
I already had the case and a 500w power supply.

I would appreciate some input on my build, I was trying to build a machine to play games like resident evil 5. I shouldn't have any problems should I?

1. Get DDR3 1333 preferably CL7 if where u at you are paying a hefty premium for thos Ballistix
2. HD 5770 or better for better frames
3. Hopefully u have a 80+ certified with at least 28+Amps on the 12V?
4. Mayny peeps have now gone with the 95W TDP X4 925 and it's also good to go for light clocking hehe

Google the PSU model and/or visit the manufacturer's website It is the PSU efficiency

Err do u know the make of your PSU?

 

[minix69]

its a Hipro top-500p5

Though a HD 5770 is way off being a power guzzler and that Hipro could cut it for peace of mind and if budget allows get a better PSU
