Under 700$ build with taxes

[greenhold]

Hi, I'm making a build for around 700$ with taxes, Canadian prices.

AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE : http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=47459

Asus MB : http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=47459

WD HDD Caviar Black Sata 6gb/s :

G.Skill 2x2GB ram, DDR3, 1600: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=42745&promoid=1275

And I'm still wondering what Case/PSU and Video Card to choose.

Tnx for Help

For your video card, use this article to find the best card in your price range.

For PSU, buy at least a 600W name-brand power supply. (Thermaltake, Seasonic, OCZ, Corsair, FSB, ect.)

For the case, it doesn't make as much as much of a difference. Just get one in your budget with the features and looks you want.

choose a case with a good airflow , and don't forget the aftermarket CPU fan because the stock fan that came with 955 is very noisy

i just replaced it today and the new one is really quiet

Your mobo is linked to the cpu. Can you edit your original post for us.

Btw for the PSU, why would I need 600watts of a known company... 500watts is way ok for that build?

As for GPU, I'm looking at the 460 GTX or for later 560 Ti,

What do you guys think of barebones like this one : http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7200563

From the Egg-Can:

Asus M4A79T Deluxe 790FX / PhII 945: $250'ish after rebate (got mine in a month)

Not sure what you are looking for in a motherboard, but that sure is a nice one. The Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB for $69CAN looks good, too.

With your other stuffs that would put you in the range of a $200 graphics card (not counting your OS) - a Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1GB for around $170 should work nicely.

Alright, and what kind of PSU do I need for the HD 6850 + Phenom II x4 945
