New build i5 gaming pc $900

Approximate Purchase Date: next weekend


Budget Range: $900 before rebates (I hate online rebate forms), cheaper is better. But I'm adding os and a keyboard to this build, so total around $1000.


System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, web browsing


Parts Not Required: Monitor, mouse


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, frys or ncix is ok if priced well (they can't usually beat newegg for price), I have a micro center 30 mins from me.


Country of Origin: USA


Parts Preferences: none


Overclocking: probably not, only slightly if at all (eg taking the i5 760 up 3.0ghz, not shooting for anything crazy like 4.0ghz)


SLI or Crossfire: No. If a mobo is the same price and supports it for the future, great, but not my priority.


Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050. 22in lcd that's as high as it goes.


Additional Comments: I'm posting all the parts but I already purchased the psu bundled with windows 7 64 bit cus of a nice sale, so can't swap that out. I'll post the parts and then the combo prices.

Another option is to use my current x1900xt card and wait a couple months for the ati 6000 series. It's doubtful I'd buy a 6000, unless there's some around $220 with better performance than a gtx 460, but the new series should drop the 5000 price a few bucks. It's not a great card, but can handle my current games at med-low settings.

My other questions are is the sonic pailt worth the extra $20 for the out of the box overclock or is it easy enough to oc the standard one? Also the 5850 I listed is oc'd and cheaper than the others, just wondering if it's the right 5850 to go for or if anyone wants to suggest a better one.

Thanking you in advance for advice.

The HD5830 is an option you don't have that is better than the GTX460 at the same price point.

At 1680x1050 I get excellent performance from my HD5770 and i5 661 on all the current games I have.

Can anyone say if these parts will fit together well? How's my mobo selection? I tried to keep it cheap without going bargain brand and staying away from micros.
