Need help with new rig, ddr3 , am3 and on a budget

[0razor1]

Okay folks! So here's my first post on such a forum ever.... and I'm from India... so

suppose the dollar equivalents may be a bit fudged up .... in short I'm building a

budget gaming rig minus the ATI 5850 (bl00dy xp rite now) which i will add after say 6

months.. as of now I have a couple of 7800 gtx (factory OC ) so i may end up using them

and invest in a 5850 l8tr this year.. !!

So he's a preliminary look at what I'm getting built in a few days time.. with

equivalent dollar rates (i think its abt Rs 46-> $ 1 )

My rough budget is about 30K , and thats abt 625 Dollar self assembled comp, minus the

gpu (using an old one..)

My aim: To rock some classics like crysis(not sooo enthusiastic, but what the heck)

,and to last atleast 3 years with minor upgrades
PSU: 650 extreme power plus -COOLERMASTER 4200 91$


CPU: choice of ATI phenom 2: 550BE or 720BE 4700 or 6250 102/

135$
MOBO: Biostar TA790GX A3+ Motherboard 6700 145/
or Msi 790GX-G65 mobo 7500 161/
or MSI 790FX-GD70 Motherboard 10500 228$
Ram: 2GB DDR3 (1333MHz) Kingston 1900 41/
OR 2GB DDR3 (1600MHz) OCZ 2700 59$
Hdd: Seagate 7200.12 500GB 2400
dvd-rw: Sony sumthing.. 1100 24$
GPU: 2x 7800 GTX factory OC lying sumwhere.. zero
Cabinet: 305 +1 extra fan(free,2 total, no more slots)-CM 1900 41$
LCD: AOC F22 /F22S --full HD(22"), 5ms, 30K CR, 300cd/m 8500 185$
Mouse: Razer Deathadder + Goliathus(a) mousepad zero
Audio card: Steelseries siberia external(~shit) zero
Speakers: old Philips 10 W rms (daSHIT) zero

sub total : 34,100(cheapest) 523$

Thoughts so far....
Love the idea of tesselation and all dx11 has to offer but since nVidia's fukc'd up...

expect nothing of them till march... and by oct the 5850 may becum affordable...... so

will do that then. I mean,the 4850 is about 7K now (roughly 145$) so yyyyy shld i pay

22K for the 5850 when i dnt have it -- rather invest in a good mobo and cpu and then

watch out for dx11 games, and when the market matures.

Okay, so my first post and really looking forward to all ur inputs...

Still figuring out what the word 'fusion' means...

Instead of buying a MSI motherboard i will suggest that you go for an Asus or Intel motherboard. Asus motherboard have integrated Nvidia graphics card which will give you excellent performance while gaming. Also Instead of getting a Death adder mouse go for Razer Salmosa which is more efficient than Death Adder. You can also buy a Steel series 5HV2 gaming grade headphones which have an external USB sound card attached.

HI TJ ,
Thanks for the inputs but here's the deal.. brand wise i don't have a problem with msi /GB/ or asus... he deal is I'm on a budget, want 790* NB and sb700 atleast... and regarding the other peripherals----

*changed my choice to the msi 790gx-g65 and am sticking to it because of the ddr3(oc-1600) , am3, easy oc, and good on board audio (for the time being). Will invest in a dedicated card later.

1. I already have a steelseries 3H and that usb soundcard u were mentioning... And I believe that the onboard one is excellent.

2. MSI good for OC'ing 2. Also has an easy oc switch (which i doubt i'll be using)

3. Am going to use my current 7800 gtx OC card till 5850 prices drop.

4. Already own a Deathadder!

**Would really like some inputs on what cpu cooler to buy since this mobo has little room around the cpu socket and ram modules.

THAnX!
