yeah it doesnt show the combined wattage on my psu

5770 should be fine. That CPU will also slow things down, but that depends on the game.

A standard cheap build would be something like:

CPU: AMD Athlon x4 640

RAM: 4GB DDR3 Kingston Value RAM

MOBO: Gigabte 870A-UD3

GPU: 6870

CASE: Antec Two Hundred (or pick one you like; I built my first 2 PC's in this case, good for the price).

PSU: Antec TP-650

Add a 500GB or 1TB HDD (I'd recommend Seagate) and Win 7 x64 Home Premium. And a monitor.

under 12v1 it says 17a and under 12v2 it says 18a

That's not relevant, what you want is the combined wattage limit, as I said in my previous post.

Example:

What I'm referring to is the 492W (41A) in this pic.

However, I'm fairly certain that 2 rails with 17A and 18A respectively SHOULD be able to power a 5750/5770 guaranteed, regardless of their combined wattage limit.

You can figure it out from the info given, the 5770 should run.

If you want gore then grab a Glock and go murder somebody. Shoot them 17 times and empty the magazine. Instant gore.

You should see some graph with 3.3, 12, etc written on it. What does it say for 12V1 or 12V2 etc.

Why did you build such a system? Its all over the place. You bought an AM3 hexa core processor for a mATX AM2+ (not even AM3) board in a full tower case (why not ATX)?, a 750w PSU that you won't use with that GPU, and a GPU that is slow. And DDR2 memory in 2010. Why?

I was wondering about that also but I figure that he got all those components on sale. If you look most of them up on newegg you'll find that the prices are, for the most part, reduced.

But it is just wrong. All unbalanced.

Wait a moment. Do you mean SATA drives or IDE drives? SATA does not have any master/slave jumpers. If it is SATA the drive should work fine. I clean installed 7 today and the backup drive I was using yesterday works as you'd expect.

Build it. I doubt anyone from Gamespot would recommend otherwise. Just don't get all cheap and choose a poor quality and a poor quality case. They are more important than any other part.

DosBox too.You may also want to try some emulators for SNES and GBA.
