Sorry about this but I didn't really understand how to checkif they are compatible. I know that the motherboard supports 1600 mhz ram.

Because my lack of experience, I'd greatly appreciate if someone would check if all these components are compatible before I order.

Lol sorry about thisguys but many thanks.

Sorry for all the questions but would this be it http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=105&bid=5&sid=59335?

The only difference it has to yours is the "Evo" bit. If it is the mobo, that freaking rocks and saves me another $50 but does it support the Sata II hardrive that I've chosen? If so, that's basically the last piece to the puzzle and pc here I come. :D

Oh really? Thanks for the heads up. Is their any reason why it sucks?

I'm having a really tough time finding a cheaper Mobo. If anyone can pick one out for meat http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&bid=5&id2=105I'd very much appreciate it. I think that's the final thing I need to chose before ordering it.

Oh, and I went with the Antec 300case. I'll post up the final build after the Mobo is chosen.

Thanks guys.

Hey.

Got back from the stores, they were closed. Glad to see someone suggested a case.

I found a new Mobo to lessen the cost of the new 995. http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=105&bid=5&sid=57521

Is this alright? It has intergrated graphics and was wondering if that will affect my 6870 in any way.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Hmm, it looks like Sata 3 is out of the picture then since I don't really care about load times. As for the PSU, the 620 Watt is as cheap/cheaper than the 550 Watt ones.Weird.

I'm actually going to go tothe shops now and buy a case.I've been informed that I need a big one to fit the components andsome fans.

Any more advice? Or is the setupthe best I can come up with within the budget?

Thanks for the help.

Haha, it's fine dude.

I'll try and tone down the mobo and see how much I can save from it and I still have to research how to OC. I'll probably learn after it's built but I have this fear of destroying the computer or causing the parts to not last as long. :P

The site I'm using is Umart for anyone interested. I'll edit back to update whether I've gone with the CPU/mobo changes.

EDIT: Okay, after browsing the mobos, most of the cheap ones only offer Sata 2. Do I really need Sata 3?

DOUBLE EDIT: I've decided to go with an AMD Phenom II AM3 955 Black Edition (3.2Ghz) 64-Bit Quad-Core CPUas the new processor. I'm sure this works with my current mobo. However, I would still like to know if Sata 3 is needed because I could get a cheaper Mobo and save that extre $50-$30 for something else.

Hey , just wanting an opinion on the build I've thought up.

Will all these parts work together? How long can this last me at HD resolution? Someone on this board also suggested that I get a Nvidia card instead because of Physx (I think), is that true? Is the CPU good enough at 3.0 ghz to last me a while? I'm pretty sure it's a Quad.

The case I have chosen may or my not fit in all the components. I've just chosen it to get a closer glimpse at the overall price and can change it up later. Also, I'm on a buidget of around $1100 Ausand any suggestions on parts arewelcome.

Thanks.

I've made some adjustments.

I've changed the CPU to a quad (I think), the motherboard and the Video Card to a HD 5850. Is this a better card than the one I had before? And is all this compatible?

Thanks.

Oh and still no case. :P

Okay, I searched up at the shop we are buying from and I found a:

AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0Ghz AM3 95W $110

AMD Phenom II AM3 955 Black Edition (3.2Ghz) 64-Bit Quad-Core CPU $155

Intel Core i5 760 Processor LGA1156 2.80GHz 8MB Cache CPU $210

I'm really leaningtowards the AMD because of the money we'll save, however, is there a real reason why the Intel cost much more but offers less GHz? I may be missing something. If AMD is the way to go, which one should I get? I'll try and find some motherboards now.

Is this a decent motherboard: Asus M4A89GTD-Pro AM3 890GX 4DDR3 2PCIE RAID VGA GLAN 2FW ATX HDMI SATA3 $160?

Thanks, you've made us much more confidentwith our purchase. :)

We'll probably place the order in a few days.

EDIT: Thanks for sugggesting the AMD. Would it make a difference if we got a 4 core AMD CPU with less gh/z (?) than the Dual Core? Or does it even it out with the more cores? And a new CPU would mean we'd have to get another Motherboard, right?

Haha, sorry about this.
