Its definitely going to work

but Im not sure I'd buy " some hard drive"
Id rather have a samsung F3 500 gig or a seagate 7200.12 500 gig

What kind of cpu cooler do you get for $7?

Hey there Carvcik,
Nice build. It's got some good components. Some would say go i3-2100, but I personally would stay with the 965, just because it's a bit better in some apps, and am3+ support
However, Newegg has a deal on the 965, making it $119. If it's over, get the 955 BE. Same chip, and speeds can be obtained by super simple overclock.

Some ideas:
Motherboard-$89 ASRock 870 Extreme 3, it is x8/x8 capable for future Crossfire http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
Graphics-$120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102898 Same as yours just a different brand and cheaper
-$109http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878 More powerful then a 5770 but also more power hungry
-$148http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150534 More powerful then 5770
-$145http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625 More powerful then 5770
-$150http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121390 More powerful then 5770
Depending on the resolution you plan on playing on I would say either the Sapphire HD5830 or Asus CuII GTX 460. If you also like the motherboard I suggested remember it doesn't nativly support SLI only Crossfire if that helps decide on graphics cards. And as stated before go for the 955 black edition as it is the same thing as the 965 after about two minutes in the motherboard bios. Hope any of this helped.

Thanks for advice mgf derp I guess going cheaper mobo and gpu would be better for couple months after that I can crossfire gpu

Reply to carvcik

Glad I could help. You could also look at getting a HD 5850 for $150 http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Rad [...] 73&sr=1-2.
Just another possibility that would do well in crossfire.
