Done and done. got all the info i needed thanks guys

ok cool this is good news.

however i was looking at the Radeon HD 4870 1GB...it is only like 30 bucks cheaper, and some people actually saw it runs games smoother than the 5770? Once again i will have to rely on people with experience with these cards to tell me.

edit: and i will not be using crossfire/sli. And ive also heard a lot of sh!t about ATI drivers with certain games..

got all the info i needed thanks guys

Wait a second, OP. I'm selecting parts for you from Newegg. I'll try to to get you better parts for the same budget ($667.00).

alright cool dude ill check em out when they are up

So i finally decided to buy a gaming PC bundle that i will put together myself, instead of buying individual parts. I will be playing games like Oblivion, Half Life 2, Battlefield2, world of warcraft.. on a 19" 1400x900 monitor.

This is the computer I have chosen.

and since it doesnt come with a video card, im getting this one.

Is the computer and the video card compatible?? I am on a tight budget so im not going all out on a card, but i believe this card will play the games i have on max settings with high FPS. Please let me know what you think!

If a mod could please delete this that would be great, i got all the info i needed for now.

Ok i changed some things tell me what you think now. I upgraded the video card to a Radeon HD 5770 1GB. Does it matter if my mobo or Power supply is Crossfire enabled even though i wont use that feature? Also would i be better to go for the Radeon HD 5770 1GB or an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB they are about the same price.
