Im looking to build the best gaming PC possible for the money I have. I need a motherboard, cpu, and maybe a nice video card if possible..HDMI port would be cool but not a deal breaker. I need to stay under 300$. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

ALSO - what kind of wattage would i need in my power supply? thnx

I want DDR2

Okay trying to decide between this:

MSI 770T-C45 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

HIS H577FK1GD Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16

AMD Athlon II X3 445 Rana 3.1GHz Socket AM3 95W

$273

-or-


MSI 790XT-G45 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

EVGA 768-P3-1360-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16

AMD Athlon II X3 445 Rana 3.1GHz Socket AM3 95W

$338

I don't really see it being worth the price difference.. especially when I could crossfire the 5770 down the road for about the same cost...

Am I missing something? Thanks

Can someone check the Mobos for me and be sure I could crossfire?

Thanks again

770 cant Crossfire, 790X can, so switch the Mobos.

Both are nice options, the 5770 gives you upgradability, GTX460 gives you ~20% more performance,
