hey i have done a lot of research on this but being a beginner ,i am very confused about this,
my sole purpose is gaming ,well not hardcore at least ;movie viewing and the day to day tasks including surfing,word,excel,etc.

my budget including everything is upto 1300$

the thing that i came up with looks like this-

-CPU - Intel Core i5-760

-Motherboard -Intel Desktop Motherboard DP55WG (confused between this and the one asus offers for the same price range)

- GPU -XFX Radeon HD5750 1GB DDR5 ATI PCI E Graphic Cards (HD-575X-ZNFC)

-cabinet -Antec Two Hundred V2 Black Tower Gaming Cabinet

-HDD -Seagate Barracuda ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB SATA Desktop Hard drive

-memory -2 x Corsair Desktop Memory 2GB DDR3 1333MHz (VS2GB1333D3 G)

Sounds like nice rig.

The GPU is a bit weak, but for a 20" monitor it will prob be fine

Maybe try and get a 5770 instead or even a 5850 if you can.?

Not sure about the motherboard- please post details of your options. Asus is a brand I would generally trust when it comes to motherboards.

You probably dont need a 600W PSU for that rig. Even with a better GPU you could still get away with a good 500w one instead

OK, I had a look at what you have on offer there.

I would go for this board:

You wont be crossfiring with this motherboard, or if you did you would have to use a single-slot 5770 as you second graphics card, but it's not really mean for crossfiring, because the second PCIExpress slot is only a 4x speed one, but you can use other types of PCIExpress cards instead.

But from my experience, a Gigabyte mobo is a good mobo, with good BIOS features, and well built. You could overclock with this board quite happily if you so wished.

It doesn't support USB3.0 though, and for a little bit more money you could get this:

http://www.theitdepot.com/details-Gigabyte+GA-H55M-USB3+16GB+DDR3+-+USB+3.0+Intel+Motherboard_C13P8259.html

Which is a smaller board, with 2 less PCI slots, but it does support USB3.0, which will be handy in the future, when gadgets start to fill the market which support USB3.0

Oh yeah - and I would go for the Powercolor GPU Any one would likely be fine though.
