1. AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition

2. MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 Crossfire Motherboard

3. Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM

4. Corsair 750 Watt PSU & Seagate 1TB (1000 GB) 7200RPM HDD

5. XFX HD 6950 2GB Video Card

6. Samsung SATA DVD Burner

7. Antec Dark Fleet Mid Tower Case

Total: $973.54

EDIT:

If you really want the Hexacore (6 Core) Phenom instead of the qaud core Phenom, then order this instead. However, keep in mind that it does cost more. Don't worry about the other components. Everything would still be compatible because this CPU uses the same socket as the quad core I selected above.

Aside from low-end liquid cooling units like the Corsair H50/H70, liquid cooling is for extreme overclocking. I highly doubt you'd be doing anything that would require it. That would be more appropriate for attempting to reach over 4.0 GHz and beyond. The most you'd need is an ordinary heatsink (or a low-end liquid cooling unit like the H50/H70).

What do u think of this one? Its 200 more expensive, but it got liquid cooling, and the amd 2 x6 phenom.

It looks fine. However, if you intend to get a second video card, the motherboard I chose would be better. The reason is because the board I chose provides all 16 lanes for EACH card when in Dual-Crossfire mode. This ensures that each card gets the maximum bandwidth provided by PCI-E 2.0 technology. The board you chose only provides 8 lanes for each card when in Dual-Crossfire mode. This doesn't matter if you don't intend to use Crossfire. However, if you do, it will.

Seems fine, but I don't recommend PSU's that aren't from Corsair, OCZ, or Antec. Also, why don't you order from Newegg?

so should i get that ati 6950 or should i got with nvidia 570?
