rate my soon to be rig

well its gettin close to that time were i buy the parts for my new rig and put um together and i wana say thanks to all the advice i got in here, i'm on like version 5 of the parts that i'm gettin for my rig, and i feel like this is going well. please tell me what you think of what i got here, im still on the fence bout the mobo, but i feel like for the money the processor i got is top notch.

i'm also a little concerned about teh compatability, can anyone confirm the ram and mobo compatibility i have here, i doubt there will be a problem w/ the processor and mobo, but i hear that "Please don't purchase this board with a new AMD processor (Google C3 for a list of the new processors)." but i didnt find much information.

ALSO: please, suggest a good HDD, I hear western digital is good, i want somethin that wont poop out on me after a a few months or somethin.

what's the budget?smc91352

what i got there is sittin at about 430$, i'll prob get a half a TB hDD for 50$, which is pushin close to 500$, i really dont want to breach that 500 mark tho, i even decided to go with a nice rosewill case for about half the price of the one i had before to put the extra money towards a proecssor, yaknow for the substance over flash lol

Phenom 955 + 790FX mobo + cheap 4GB DDR3 RAM + 7200.12 500GB + cheap case

^ that, in a wishlist = $488.96

looks pretty good, everything should be compatible. If it doesn't work newegg will give you credit or money back, they're pretty good about that. What are you doing about video card though.

the thing about this list i put together, http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=16723268 is that i can save 30$ on a combo wich puts everything on that list (hdd in there now) at $465. is that mobo any good? i really wana get some good gamin on, my card now, with a 4'ish y/o mobo and processor and only 2g of ram and with my hd radeon 4850 can handle some really good games like res 5, assassin's creed n such but i have to turn down shadows n what not, i'm also getting into graphic design soon and wana be able to run maya.

Oh, and while we're talking about combos, what do you think of this?

looks good, basically brings the price of that ram down to the $90 range, I think i want to stick with gskill ram tho, friends have had good experience with them, and lots of good reviews on it, and whats the difference between 790X 790FX and i also hear there's GX out there.Renzokucant

^ what about GX, check link i edited in thereRenzokucant

Onboard Video Chipset = ATI Radeon HD 3300 built-in 128MB DDR3 1333 SidePort Memory

PCI Express 2.0 x16 = 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (single x16 or dual x8 )newegg

See, the FX could do dual x16.

163$ is like 50 bucks more than i was hoping to spend on a mobo, i thought the 119 was pushin it for some of the X and Gx'sRenzokucant

at least i'm learnin alot right now lol, so if i'm right... 790FX > 790GX > the 790X i have in my wishlist now right?
