For the graphics card get the EVGA GTX 580 instead, or get 2x EVGA GTX 570's. Also Corsair Dominator RAM is at a great price now.

for the price you can't go wrong with that ram.

then EVGA is the way to go

saving up for one might just put my 480 up on ebay :p

i chose msi cuz evga was outta stock

i just checked newegg, the Evga gtx580 sc is back in stock.

The Phenom chips run on pretty high voltages, you can definitely push higher if you temps are safe

For instance my x4 965 @ 4.0ghz takes 1.475 which is perfectly safe (best to stay below 1.5) and stays below 50oC Prime95

1.475 on Air?

my corsair 750w tx has lasted two builds so far so i can't really complain. :p

thank you for mentioning that, so check this out for a GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127559&cm_re=gtx_580-_-14-127-559-_-Product

I want a monitor (1920x1080) with very good picture quality( samsung is the best?)

should I buy a Soundcard?

thanks for your time,My point is, I want to max every game whithout lagging, Can I do this with these specs? should I change anything?

and if you know, whats the best way to post this PC to Iraq from Holland?

JimmyJumpy

Change the Sony DVD burner to a LiteOn

The video card is very good, but investing in a HD6950 (which can be flashed to a 6970) is a better option.

Shipping from Holland to Iraq could be done through FedEx. Or contact Vivet Gosselin international movers in Antwerp, belgium.

off topic: why did amd even bother releasing the 6970 if u can just take a 6950 and flash the bio's on it seems silly to me.

Heres my wishlist for my next computer I narrowed it down to just this, I plan on putting my 460 in this.

Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg

Here are the 2 motherboards I cannot decide over I was wondering what is the better buy?

Newegg.com - ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Newegg.com - MSI Big Bang-XPower LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Also I was wondering if the PSU I picked out is the best decision for this build.

TrooperManaic

Asus REiii all day :)

i'm going to wait for some more boards to be released even though.....that msi board is smexxy :p

if you can save up an extra 50 bucks get a gtx 570 and call it a day. :)
