Buying a new PC - could use some help deciding

Seems the 5870 has officially been taken off newegg... They just deactivated them :? As for the rest of the build, it looks good. Just change the memory to the one marcthpro linked to, as the corsair memory in that build is waaaaay overpriced.

like someone mentioed before if you dont want to build the PC yourself then cyberpower are a good choice for a pre built system.

I found the Radeon HD 5870 for $500 on another site - that a fair price?

btw - thank you for the help guys I really appreciate it.

Heh, Americans, lucky you... The lowest price on 5870 here is $500 :cry:

Duckman, he's Canadian. After all the shipping costs and customs charges, that would probably end up being heftier than 500. Go for this one Link. 50 bucks less than what you found, and it's the same card. Might want to act quickly though, since they apparently only have 3 left.

And btw: if you wish to save a few dollars, change the mobo to the MSI Pro-E, the PSU to an Antec Truepower New 750W, and, if you're willing to settle for less disk space for performance, the WD Caviar Black 640Gb. Cheaper, faster, and the only thing you lose is space, which I highly doubt you'll miss.

so topic creator are you making ur own pc ? if so what part with that gpu ? my build ? other build i can come in and try to put the best for ur $$$ if you'r making ur own pc for first time if you think you can't do it with ur own hand there lot of place you can go for they do it for 30-50$ Or perhap a friend / family member

How ever I do remember Seen 5870 1GB for 420$ IN canada but it out of stock

They have three more cards in stock as well. Here's one from MSI and two from Sapphire.

Im think gonna go with what you guys suggested, I'll post a link on the stuff soon. And Ill order all the parts I need then ill see wether i would rather asemble it myself or go to tigerdirect n pay them 90 bucks to do it for me.

People are saying it isnt as hard as it seems to build your own pc so i may just find a good guide on youtube and follow it.

And ill have to find that Radeon HD 5870 either online or perhaps in store.

So is this a good rig? This is the one you all reccomend?

Yes it Very good :D expect the hard Drive which is very slow : green Caviar are Low power consumption & ecologic but they are weak in performances : you need a 7200:12 1TB or 1TB black caviar or the ultimate 1TB : The Samsung spintpoint F3 1TB

and a cpu cooler if you will overclock ur core i7 920 to around 4.0ghz+ (beefdog Reached 4.2Ghz)

Is that one better?

oh they are that slow lockedge they are... 74 second too boot vista vs 54-60second http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/storage/2009/10/06/samsung-spinpoint-f3-1tb-review/9 it why i roughtly recomemnd anything but a green..

even tough they claim to be good for activist & fanatism people that love low consuming device such as 120W to 200W TDP Low Gaming profile PC or those netbook that soly made to surf on net and not gaming

and yes it quite much better according benchmark enjoy ur pc build : all you need is cpu cooler if you oc and guide later of how to do that : cheer :D
