PCU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 - 3.4 Ghz AM3 Black Edition CPU
RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 Memory
Graphics: Sapphire HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB
DVD: LiteOn dvdr
Heatsink: freezer 7pro

also if i need a certain pc case? or something you can recommend... good looking and cheap

Get a 6870 instead. Will work better. You didn't put the memory timings in there. Hope you got the right ones.

memory: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C​9B 8GB 1600Mhz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Module Kit

also it says its kinda big. should fit in a midtower?

so i guess everything is compatible and thanks man. ordering this nextweek

WD Blue HDD's not known for there speed.

Heatsink ok, but Hyper 212 Evo would be a lot better.

+1 ATI 6870

Memory will be fine.

I agree, 8GB RAM is a better choice.

6870 is a stronger video card at not a much more substantial price.

I have that same hard drive, I don't have a problem with it. Sure it doesn't match the speeds of an SSD, (no HDD can) but you won't have any trouble with its speed. Actually, my secondary Seagate 2TB drive thats SATA II doesn't seem any slower than my SATA III Caviar Blue. go figure.

over budget either 8gb ram or ati 8750. or i can keep the normal 8750 and get 8gb ram

is their much difference in the video cards?
