Please Help Finalize my Build

Can you list some component sites in there? For the PSU the Corsair TX 650W is better and cheaper.

^ Some suggestions -
1. Save money and get the 955 instead of the 965. With the AMD's overclocking utility, just by increasing the multiplier by 1, you could run the 955 @ 965's speed wihtout any issues...

2. Mobo - As you will not be overclocking and would just want Crossfire, IMO the ASRock is good enough, saves some money too...

3. RAM - See if the regular ones are cheaper as the ECO(Low voltage RAMs) wont have any advantage over other regular parts when using with AMD CPUs...

4. PSU - Check out other PSUs like Corsair 650TX/ Antec EA 650, they can easily power even HD 6870 Crossfire and from newegg's pricing would cost less than that Cougar...

5. CASE - Check out the NZXT Gamma - The case is perforated, hence better airflow...

IMO as you have a 1440x900 monitor, with the money saved, why not go with a single HD 6870 ? It would certainly suffice for that resoution(can easily max out most of the current games @ that resolution) and by the time you would need more graphics power, there will be better cards...

Thanks for the reply, looking at the pricelist from the shop that im going to buy, im surprised that the HEC Cougar 700w cost less than the Corsair TX650 which im going to clarify tommorrow. As for RAM is this ok G.SKILL NS 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-4GBNS

^ About the PSU, just confirm which one you are getting as there are 3 700W variants,...
As for the RAM, that GSKillz is a no frills type and is good enough if no overclocking or anything...

Oh I see, after searching on newegg I think this is the one that the shop is selling - hec Cougar 700cm 700W Continuous @ 40°C ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC is this still good enough for a psu?

It should work just fine for you. I'm actually trying out a Cougar 700w one in this computer...

As for the rest of your PC, it looks good - but don't go crossfire until you upgrade that monitor! That single card should be plenty.

How about this setup, are the components works well with each other?
> Phenom II X4 955
> Asrock 890GX Extreme3
> Sapphire HD 6850
> Gskill Ripjaws 4gb ddr3 1333 CL7 F3-10666 CLTD-4GBRH
> Fsp Epsilon 80plus 700w True Rated
> Antec 300
> Samsung Spinpoint 1tb

^ That PSU looks decent, what other PSU options do you have??

Hec Cougar 700w CMx Series (Modular)

Corsair TX650w (True Rated)

Gigabyte Superb 720w (True Rated)

^ Frankly just for the brand, I would go with Corsair over the rest...But search the net if they have any reviews about the rest of the PSUs that you have listed...

Well ive read some reviews it seems corsair is well recommended.

If im buying a UPS, what should i get?

^ APC is a well known brand world wide I guess...So get a 600-650VA from that brand,...these would offer roughly about 30-45 mins of backup...

Thanks for the advice gkay09, one last thing, what can you say about this RAM - Team Elite 4gb 2x2gb DDR3 1333 w/heat spreader? Im a little off budget because im getting a ups.

Oh btw, can this APC Back-UPS RS 650VA, 230V handle my newly build cpu and monitor?

it only says 390Watts
"Output Power Capacity
390 Watts / 650 VA"
Do the watts not have to equal the psu?

Im not sure if it should be exact as the psu but I think the amount of overall usage of watts of all components plugged in the UPS. Though Im not sure, im still researching about this

^ A UPS is just for backup and am sure you wont game when power goes off right ?? So just for you to complete your unfinished work or save them, it would suffice...
RAM - Team also are good ones, if it saves money, then get them...
