Final build suggestions / what PSU?

[topslop1]

I have hard drives, cd rom drives and a case. Just needed some new guts for a new rig.

Here is what the newegg shopping cart looks like:

HIS Hightech H489F1GP Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2RPR10664GK - Retail

AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor Model HDZ940XCGIBOX - Retail

BIOSTAR TFORCE TA790GX 128M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail


Now what kind of PSU should I be looking at to power this? If I wanted to go crossfire with another 4890 in the future what kind of PSU would I need for that? And, if there were any changes to make in the original hardware what would you do and why?

Antec EA650 for $78.50 w/free shipping. It's going to cut it really close to run 2 x 4890s in Xfire. But, I wouldn't bother if I was you. I would just sell your 4890 and upgrade to a DX 11 video card later on.

Please answer the following questions:

- How much, at most, are you willing to spend on this build?
- Specify in detail, with brand and model name/number, which parts you plan on reusing.
- Is the monitor listed in your sig (LG 204WT) the same one you'll be reusing for this system. If so, one HD4890 would be more than enough for most games.

I wanted to spend about $650 tops.

I'm going to reuse a 120gig SATA Seagate for the harddrive with an external for storage. It's in my rig right now I don't want to crack it open to see the specific model #. I have a regular DVD-ROM and I have an Audigy 2 soundcard. Also have a nice Antec full size tower to install everything into.

The monitor I have now in the ASUS MK241 24'' 1080p monitor.
