Hey guys I've never made my own PC before but I thought I'll give it a go (how hard can it be? I've upgradedmy graphics card in past without problems! :lol: ) Anyway I am looking to build a mid range gaming pc (£600 minus monitor) and I have looked up and am considering some parts and I was wondering how good they are in conjunction with each other and value for money etc..
CPU - Amd phenom II 965 x4
Ram - OCZ gold DDR3 (2x2gb) 1333mhz ram (its cheap and I'm on tight budget)

Case - NZXT appollo (looks awesome!)
PSU - Coolermaster silent PRO 600w or 500w not sure (modular)

Harddrive - Western digital 500gb
GPU - Either 5770 or 5850 but that might be too expensive for me. I was thinking of buying a 5770 for now and crossfiring later but that causes another problem
The motherboard I orginally intended to buy was the ASUS M4A785TD-V Evo but it turns out the crossfire capabilty on that is not good. The asus M4A79XTD Evo is better with x8 x8 crossfier support yet it is quite a bit more expensive and I'm not sure if i really need crossfire
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance
