So basically i'm gonna get a HD5850 so just wanna know which processor suit best?

core i 920 or core i750 or AM3 955 or AM3 965?

i heard that i7 has expensive future upgrade while i5 has cheaper upgrades but none more than the current ones? while ati am3 has more upgrades in future so which would be most recommended?

i'm gonna get antec 300 and around 500watt but not sure what brand to go for please help? all answer would be appreciated.

The Phenom II's would be the cheaper ones and the i7 920 would certainly be more expensive. They aren't quite equal (the i7 920 generally has a slight edge), but generally the price/performance isn't justified to support buying the i7 920 if you are on a tight budget. And in terms of Power Supplies, I would recommend looking at brands like Corsair, Antec, PC power & cooling, and Seasonic. But you could also go with OCZ, Thermaltake, and Cooler Master are also decent brands.Luminouslight

Most proberly i'm going with AMD cause of pice over ration and which one would be best suited with it 945 or 955 or 965? not going to oc either parts.

The Phenom II x4 955 is the best choice. Unlike the 945 is a Black Edition, and unlike the 965 it has a low thermal output, so you get the best of both worlds.

This what I put up -->Build if first link can't enter try this Build2

Socket 1366 is going to get Gulftown (6 cores, 12 threads), everything else is a dead end, but it's plenty fast to last for a while. I would go i7 860 or so, bang for the buck/watt.X360PS3AMD05

From the research done ppl are telling me that LGA1156 doesn't seem to have better part from current ones. LGA1366 while i had a though of getting core i720 but the 6 core ones are kinna expensive around $1000 server cpu so not sure i could afford it.

I'm not sure you can afford a quad-core and a 5870. (let me check)

I thing that the processor will not matter as much as the video card, so I reccomended a 5870 (just in case you were wondering)

EDIT: for $51 more, you can get an X4 925.

I dun think the part u build could be use cause mobo only for AMD PhenomII X3 and X4 not X2

Its an AM3 motherboard so an X2 will work.

But you could get the x4 925 for $51 more ($946.91 Total, after rebates), you wanna go with that?

35$ i could get 955

I think i get 945 since lower wattage

Only the machine still thinking whichOS either home premium or pro which is good enough if it just gaming and surfing . Sry for the late reply went offline.

One more thing is there a better hard disk (cheaper too) than the WD Black Caviar? I don't mind any case just something look nice not bulky ones guess mid ATX would do.
