Putting together this pretty sweet build but want some input on a PSU, or any suggestions to part changes as well (GOOD LUCK! keep in mind i'm on a budget so if you change stuff, don't go too much higher than what I'm paying).

MOBO

CPU

GPU (crossfiring these unless the southern island models come out first)

RAM

HDD

Optical

as for the case, im hoping since the 5850's arn't as big as the 5870's and 5970's I can get away with a mid tower. maybe something like this

CASE

PSU

I wouldnt cheap out on the case that would be a tight fit and poor airflow. And if you plan on overclocking with a CPU cooler it will really be a pain in the butt without that space.

If you are not going to do a water cooling setup, I would advise getting a case with alot of high cfm but low db fans. I personally love my CoolerMaster HAF. As far as a psu goes there are alot of really good options in the 750w to 1000w range. I have both a Silverstone and a OCZ and they both do very well.

uhhh i did a search for a 690 2 and it pulled up digital photo frames so can u please give me all the necessary info or just link? ya, im on a budget so 1055t is out of the question, and I think it's a lot more than 50 bucks more haha...

I recommended you get a better case, a recommendation is also an opinion.

lol... i guess all i can say is touche... even though it is clear I mean recommend a specific item, I mean it IS in the title................ considering that, you recieved a very generous touche....you know.. because I said "reccomend a case too"... i'll let you keep the touche though.

yes it is 50$ more look and the 690 II is 70$ or 100$, i say get the 70$ one since 100$ is for like 3 more fans. and it takes the best of the haf series and the 690 case and puts them in one.

Edit: its 40$ more and its a socket AM3. Case

ya, I was thinking about BE, i will have to consider getting the 1055t since it's only 40 bucks more for sure... and that case is nice but price is getting to be an issue. I will keep it in mind for sure though, I'm not purchasing anything for a few months
