500w-600w should be enough power to run you computer

With a HD 5770 a 400w model from a quality manufacturer such as the Corsair 400CX is plenty. Basically a quality 500w to 550w unit can power any single graphics card. Good quality brands are Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, PC Power and Cooling , Silverstone and OCZ. Stick with those brands and you will have no problems.

Edit: This RAM is about the best you can get for the price. Fast speed and low cas latency and it works with both Intel and AMD very well. I doubt you can order from here but here is a link.

I have heard of G.SKILL but alot of their products are not worth the money.. they just came out a few years back and used to sell another thing before that

 

[Juanchioo]

Do NOT buy a Kingwin PSU. Also I have heard OCZ RAM is very picky about what motherboards it works with. I would stay away from it.

I have used that exact RAM kit in close to 15 builds now both Intel and AMD with no problems. In my opinion they are cheap reliable and quite fast for the money. OCZ has slipped on quality. Just read the newegg reviews.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Corsair memory is also quite good if you can not find that GSkill.

 

[ace700]

It all Depends on the specs of the ram and what the motherboard is. I heard bad rumors of Gskill that i tell people to stay away from them.

yeah you used the exact ram kit for 15 builds means nothing.. have you try any other ram from that company and have good resualt?

I have tryed lots of companies that makes ram and the best are kingston, OZC, and Corsair but G.SKill just came on the market this year but they were selling ram for the last couple years with alot of complaints about wrong timing reading, ram sticks wont work after so many hours on and poor manufacture. i have build over 100 computers so far and tryed different companies because certain stores will only carry certain brands. if you cant find the product that you want alot of places ship items to world wide but it might cost a bit more for shipping

 

[Juanchioo]

.. i will use the pc for gaming so whats the best ram for that?

GSkill has made good quality RAM for at least 5 years. What are you talking about? The ONLY memory I have heard bad things about lately is OCZ. Also what are you thinking recommending a Kingwin PSU? And telling him he needs 500 to 600 watts for a HD 5770?

Juanchioo you want DDR3 1333 or DDR3 1600 with as low a cas latency as you can find. Look for cas 7 or 8. Cas 9 is high for either.
To me GSkill, Corsair ( more expensive ) or Crucial are the best.

 

[Juanchioo]

ok so can u recomend me specific models please?? and i posted another question and it seems like i need more than the 5770 cause i want to play lastest games in 1920x1080 in the higher settings so people is telling me that i need a beter vga

GSkill has made good quality RAM for at least 5 years. What are you talking about? The ONLY memory I have heard bad things about lately is OCZ. Its like any other product out there. Its all about money nothing more. Also what are you thinking recommending a Kingwin PSU? That might been a bad choice but i have red on the internet about that psu and some is good reveiws and some are bad. Just like any other company out there. And telling him he needs 500 to 600 watts for a HD 5770? The video card requires minimum of 450w (http://xfxforce.com/en-gb/products/graphiccards/hd%205000series/5750.aspx#2) with a 6pin power cable. If you run anything lower then that you will run in to problems. The reason get a 500-600 watts psu is for some extra room to play with just incase he wants to upgrade his mother to sli/xfire or his gpu to a more powerfull one. I dont build computers and give them a psu is blow what it is required.

[Juanchioo]

ok but can u tell me witch one (brand and model)????

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Look I have no idea what is for sale where you are. Go by the guidelines of what I posted and give me a few brands available in Argentina and I can tell you the best one for your money.

 

[Juanchioo]

now iam with a 5870 and a crosshair iv formula i think i will go for p&c silencer mk ii 750w cuase maby i will crossfire in the future

 

[ace700]

I have not used the brand so i dont know if its a good brand to use but the reviews i have red seems like a good system. The motherboard and components inside seems to put together very well

 

[Juanchioo]

yee but im thinking that the crosshair iv formula its a lit overkilling maby ill change it

 

[Juanchioo]

and for this?

AMD PHENOM II X4 965 BLACK EDITION 125w

ATI RAEDEON 5870 or 5850

ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3

G.SKILL 4GB DDR3 1600MHZ PC-12800 CL7 DUAL CHANNEL 7-7-7-24

WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLACK 1TB SATA3 64MB BUFFER

COOLER MASTER SNIPER BLACK EDITION

COOLER MASTER STORM FORCE 200MM BLUE LED FAN

 

[ace700]

i would choose the ATI RAEDEON 5870 because it has 160 more Stream Processing Units, 8 more Texture Units, 125 more Engine clock speed and faster specs then the 5850 one. I don't know why G.Skill is better then OCZ (I don't mean for the price reason) because I have not used it. If someone can tell me why G.Skill is better in more detail then saying just it then go ahead.
