1.what is your budget 2.what brand is your psu 3.way to much spent on mother board again budget

Your build looks good. Why choose th radeon 5770? I would invest in something like this is you are gaming:

EVGA 012-P3-2078-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti $299
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130758

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB $299
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102981

I already have the radeon 5770 in my old computer so for the time being (2-3 months) ill be using that.

 

[devilofdeaths]

what is your budget!

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea tells us your budget. and also all the parts you listed ARE compatible. Just know a 5770 isn't the top dog of the mid range gpu anymore.

 

[Baukara]

Well since im reusing my Power supply, Graphics card, and optical supply. Without the OS my budget is around 700-900 dollars.

Obviously I'd prefer less expensive so i could put the money toward the Graphic card.

 

[devilofdeaths]

psu brand please

mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
cheaper case and better in my opinion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147053
Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233186 low profile is always better
and you are planning on over clocking i suggest: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

 

[Baukara]

Its a Corsair 650w Power supply.


I can switch out for that Case and Ram, what is the diference in the Motherboard and what does Low profile desktop for the ram mean.

 

[devilofdeaths]

ok your psu is good im just checking because if you had a bad psu you would want to upgrade it to

 

[devilofdeaths]

you overspent in the mobo so i picked that one out its just as good and cheaper and low profile means its not so tall so it wont mess with your cpu cooler which i suggested the hyper 212+ its a great cooler for the $

 

[Baukara]

So if I use all of your suggestions is it still just as easy to upgrade from the mobo you suggested rather from the one that I picked out?

 

[devilofdeaths]

as easy to upgrade? a mobo is a mobo they're mostly the same but they're just the same except in size and abilitys
