well I think I made up my mind. Here's the final setup: CPU & Mobo combo - AMD Athlon II X3 435 & Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.334991 Memory & PSU - Corsair...

Will the lower watt/amp be significant? I just don't know which weighs more: improvement from 4770 to 4850 or the loss of performance, stability, or whatever it may be from changing the psu.

I would like to get 4850 instead of 4770, which is why I'm considering losing the 4770 & psu combo and instead get 4850 by itself, and corsar & psu combo for some discount. It's not better?

I just like the aesthetics of the case haha. Hey, check out this combo : Corsair PSU & Memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.343602 Are corsair memory sticks just as good as g.skill? Then I think I'll get these psu and memory and get 4850 separately

I guess I'm gonna stick to 4770 & psu combo deal. But for the case, I came across this! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147144 haha, thanks for clearing everything up gwarren007 :D

I get $6 off from the WD hard drive from promo code, though : ( I'm researching about that OCZ psu, and some people have really bad opinion about it while others think it's ok. argh..

What about the x2 435 cpu and mobo combo? that's fine?

so the current mobo i have listed should be fine? And gwarren007, did you mean "if you move to the 4850" instead of 5850? in that case, how about this combo? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.343072 for $20 more, but better gfx and psu?

gff

well I would use it primarily for gaming. But what I meant by my original post is, I could buy phenom 2 x2 550, 4gb g.skill, asus m4a79xtd, radeon 5770 for a new system around $600 which outperforms that system. So I don't know which would be a better way to go.

Hello, still in the process of building a budget computer. But I came across this one ad with this specified parts: Case: Antec 1200 Power Supply: Antec Earthwatts 500W Motherboard: EVGA nVidia 750i SLI FTW Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz RAM: 4x1GB OCZ nVidia SLI DDR2 1066MHz...

Hello, for all the bored pc gurus, I decided to make yet another budget gaming pc thread. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, primarily. But I'm not sure how hardcore I will be with it. Mostly WoW, but I want to try some of the newer games...
