DONE!, couldn't wait so i ordered: PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE Deneb 3.2GHz MotherBoard: GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H AM3 AMD 890GX All from Newegg: $364.97 Next step, Video card (probably just gonna go with the 1 5770 and add a second one later with CF), RAM, and...

it's actually a $17 difference on newegg, but i think i'm gonna go with the 955

worth the extra money for 200mhz? would it even matter, i'm going to OC the 945 anyway.

as far as performance goes...how does the Gskill eco perform? i know it runs at lower voltage, but does that hinder it's performance?

ok tomorrow i'm going to order: PSU: Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz MotherBoard: GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H AM3 AMD 890GX All from Newegg: $387.97 then next week i plan on ordering: Vicedcard: HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) RAM...

i was looking at the same antec psu, a friend of mine suggested the same one. i'm planning to build this within 2 weeks. i'm ordering the MB and CPU this weekend. possibly the graphics card and the memory as well

eventually. i'd just start with one for now. the 5850 is nice, but twice the price, cant afford that right now. but i figure i can run 2 5770 CF and be good.

what about running 2 5770 crossfire?

i havent decided on the psu just yet

that out the way, what Graphics card do you guys recommend to run games like those in the OP? I plan on running crossfire eventually

yea, i'm leaning toward amd mainly for the price and the upgradability, i can always buy an x6 or x8 cpu without having to buy a new MB. plus the MB supports usb3.0 and sata 6, further enhancing the upgradability in the future

OP updated

as far as the budget goes, i don't know yet lol. no more that $300 on the motherboard and cpu

i thought the i5 750 didnt have hyper threading...just 4 physical cores. i could be wrong

lol, yea.

First off i would like to say that i'm new to this forum,so hello to everyone and thanks in advance for you input. I'm planning on building a new desktop and i'm torn between building AMD or Intel. I will be using it for playing games like Call of Duty, BattleField, Splinter Cell Conviction...
