>>RAM: Gskill ripjaw series ddr3 1333mHz 2*2GB F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
>> Processor: AMD 965 x4 3.4GHz 125w
>> MoBo: Gigabyte 880ga-ud3h or GA-890GPA-UD3H (rev. 2.1) [if prices come down![:p]( ":p")
]
>> here i'd like to mention that i need onboard gfx as a backup..just incase..
Apr:4> Monitor: Samsung 23" B233H 1920x1080
+ HDD: seagate 500gb HDD sata3.0 [6gb/s] and.. things like keyboard+mouse+speakers+headphones..etc..etc..
May:5> Finally Graphics Card looking @ ATI radeon HD 6870
somethings i'd like to know:
Q1> i was really impressed by M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 as well .. but only major diff between a asus/gigabyte 880chipset MoBo was asus has got the 8+2 phase where as gigabyte is having 4+1 ... i just need to know what is this about phase? since im not going to overclock my processor.. will 4+1 be good enough or should i go for 8+2 .. im really inclining 90% towards gigabyte due to value for money as well as trust [my exsisting MoBo is a gigabyte m61pmes2p]
Q2> i'm not going to overclock/crossfire nor gonna use more than 1 display so is the graphic card better than a 5770??
will it be enough to play AssasinCreed3/Diablo3 in 1920*1080 FULL HD [lagg free] ??
Q3> Power:VX 550w or TX 750w ??
Q4> is there any ups that supports 800w or more...??
Q5> does the processor 965 come with amd's heatsink+fan?? can some1 mention product code here??
>> not gonna OC .. so will i be needing an extra CPU cooler..??
Q6> does all this stated above compatible with each other?? especially concerned about power required/provided will 550w be enough?
## any sugesstions / reviews totally welcome![:)]( ":)")

thanks a lot ^_^

More about : suggestions budget gaming build
1. 8+2 is more of a stability issue mainly concerning CPU OC's. Not a concern here.
2. 5770 is a good card and can handle 1080p very well (I have one running ROF at full settings with a 23" 1080p display). But, prices will most likely change alot from now to May, so keep that option open.
3. I'd go at least 600W PSU, more if you see a deal. Make sure it's a quality unit, no budget buys in this category.
4. Most will. They are usually rated in amps.
5. Yes it will come with a cooler, and yes it will be fine for a non-OC. But, I recommend adding a 120mm fan for exhaust on the top of the 430 case for added airflow. I would also recommend the Phenom II 955 BE with the GA-890GPA-UD3H mobo. Price/performance wise, I feel the 955 is a much better value, with all of the best features of PH II X4's. The 890 board was my personal choice in build #2 with a PH II X2 555 BE.
6. Looks good. I already touched on the PSU. Keep an eye on RAM prices, as they are likely to fluctuate. Good choice with 1333's as far as speed.
