i guess i need suggestion on what i have. good memory a good case and do i need a cpu cooler?

If you dont plan to overclock, then the stock cpu cooler will be fine.

For $5 more, I recommend this HDD. One of the best ones around and is included in many different builds - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185

Processor and gpu look good for your price range. I was planning on a 965 and 6870 until I decided to go the intel route hehehe

thanks man is my motherboard ok for crossfireing in the future?

It seems fine...some of the reviews say it doesnt, but others say it does with a bit of performance lost (though not much).

If its still in your budget - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157198

I'd also wait for more feedback before you start buying everything. I'm new to building PCs too, and I get my information from the months of research I've done haha

Also, the psu you might as well buy crossfire ready now as itll be a hassle to have to repurchase and put it in again.

Enough to power your system. $80 after MIR and another $10 off if you use NEWCUSTOMER10 (must make new account), making it $70

What about this build. Sorry I changed AMD for Intel but this way you get more performance in gaming as this is your preference.

Total comes to 581.29 and you get 100 on MIR which by the time rebates came you can spend on second HD 6850

@madchemist,i think buing a better card than 6850 will be good.

 

[madchemist83]

Yes you can always go for 6870 or 560. But it is more expensive, draws more power and will probably require a different PSU - hence more money. Just a suggestion. Also you can overclock it to 6870 standards and it will not overheat that much.
