$1,100 left for Brother's Gaming and Media PC

It's nice to get a clean start to this.  

The build looks good as-is. I won't nit-pick it since that seems like what derailed your last post. All the components will work together just fine.

Edit: I will make one suggestion that was also suggested in your previous build. I would get this PSU instead of the OCZ one.

Antec TruePower New TP-650 650W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply $79.99

It's the same price before MIR and has free shipping. It's a higher quality unit that's 80+ Bronze certified and has a 5 year warranty. It also puts out more power on the 12v rail than the 700W OCZ PSU and has enough power connectors to power two 5850's without adapters.

If he has intentions on Crossfiring his 5850's which he says he might, I wouldn't hold out on the PSU unless you're willing to buy another later, which would waste money. You can get a 750W Thermaltake or Antec for 30 dollars more than what you're suggesting. Well worth it.

The TP-650 is a very high quality PSU that puts out enough power on the 12v rails to power Crossfire 5850 cards. There's a whole lot more to a PSU than the wattage rating.

There's more to building a rig than meeting minimum requirements too. This guy's throwing around 1100 dollars to buy 6 things because he has the rest already, including a Blu-ray player etc. See his monitor? He's got money. He's going to need more than 650W in the future, I guarantee it. He'll end up crossfiring, perhaps with 5870's who knows. Running RAID, anything. 30 dollars now or a pain in the future? 30 dollars.

OK, we need to make sure not to make this into a PSU debate. His old thread was flushed down the toilet by a bunch of unhelpful posts.

Here's a very nice 750W PSU that's on sale for an excellent price. I was sticking with the 650W suggestion because I was trying to stay under the $1,100 budget.

Antec TruePower New TP-750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC PSU $89.99

That Antec looks nice. I guess it pretty much comes down to which PSU. Well, I'm going to leave the PSU purchase till the end. Hopefully I find an awesome deal on the PSUs you guys recommended.

So everything else is fine, that's good to hear. Any opinions on the motherboard? This will be the first time I use ASRock. I just really like it because of the features to price ratio and the reviews on Newegg seem promising.

The motherboard should work. I always stick to either Gigabyte or Asus, but you shouldn't have any problems with that board. ASRock is the budget division of Asus. The quality of components used isn't up to Asus and Gigabyte boards, but it's not horrible.

+1 for this PSU
