Hello I am seeking some advice or useful information to consider with respect to a partial system build.
I currently am running a socket 939 system (3800x2) and am looking to replace the motherboard, video card, ram, and cpu.
My purpose for the system is to do gaming and everyday computing tasks. I would rather have a good system for a great price than a system that is a little faster but for a far greater price.
The parts that I am interested in using are: Athlon II X3 435

ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176
The video card I am thinking about a 5770 1Gb and am not sure about the brand or model (too much choice)
The ram: I heard good things about GSkill but was thinking of Kingston.

My power supply is like 5 years old. Has Molex and is 550 Watt Cooler Master

I am planning on upgrading my PSU when I try for Crossfire. I was thinking of upgrading my motherboard in 2 years (3 at most) and doing crossfire with two 5770`s Not sure if that is a dumb idea or not.
So ya any comments that can be made are appreciated
Thank you.
