heres my rig:

4870 512mb

X3 720

640GB

4GB RAM

Thats my rig so will 500W be enough to support it.

I am building my gaming rig on a tight budget of $800 CDN. This is my setup.

LG DVD burner

640GB HDD

4GB RAM

AMD Phenom ll X3 720

Saphire 4870 512mb

Mobo i think is crosfiire ready (how do I tell)

I am unsure how much power I need. As i said before I have a tight budget and i found a case which comes with 500W but I do not know if that is enough for my setup. Please give me a good recomendation of how much power I need for a good price.

I am still trying find all the right parts for my gaming rig. I do not want t o spend more then 800 cdn. I have ben looking on newegg.ca and found some parts.

X3 720-I want a phenom ll and its cheap.

Mobo-I want crossfire but im unsure what to get.

GFX-4850 1GB upgrade to crossfire in future.

4GB RAM-G.SKILL 4GB ram

PSU-Unsure what to get I have been loking at 500W but again im unsure.

HDD-640GB I do not know if this is good enough.

Case-I have no idea just want it to be strong and within budget.

Monitor-Will be using a HD TV at star but will get a samsung T220 or T240

Mouse/Keyboard-I might just buy locally unless you can fit one in budget.

As you can guess this is a gaming rig. I know 3 cores is weird and all but its affordable. I need help on many parts. If i have missed anything just let me know. I am on a strict budget of no more then $800 because shipping will be expensive. Any opinions would be great. Thanks.

How does this sounds:

Saphire 4850 1GB

500GB HDD

4GB RAM

500W power supply

AMD 9850 Black Edition

FOXCONN HDMI mobo A7DA-S

LG DVD burner

XION Solaris Case

subtotal: $747.92

Im not sure how good all this is but the mobo and CPU are in a combo price of $242.

Any opinons would be great. I might want a crossfire mobo and I do want a Phenom 2 but they are abit too pricey but its still an option

I want a custom rig and am having troubles building my own. I want it mainly for gaming for all of the newest games. I have a strict budget of $800 Canadian money. Please build me a strong gaming rig. I have been looking at getting an AMD Processore becuase of the price and I would like to have a Quad Core. I am open to any suggestions. Please and thankyou.
