    Need to build system with new AMD Phenom II x6 1090T

    Recently I have been come across to upgrade my 13 inch Dell Studio XPS laptop with a desktop. I would keep this mechanism around $ 700 - $ 800 maximum with much bang for my money as possible without sacrificing quality. What I would like to do is to maintain the quality of music and video playback, Photoshop and After Effects, editing videos taken from some websites, games and so on.

    One of the things I see which can drop the SSD. I know they are quicker and sexy, but so are WD Velociraptors and lesser amount of 10$ than you can get a 150 GB Velociraptor. You can also purchase a non-expensive power supply. The XFX you have selected is excellent, but the system would be fine with a 600 or 650W power supply. Also, a kit of 4 GB of RAM will cut another 40 or 50 dollars to your bottom line. I hope now you can build you system.

    I would prefer you to stay with 870 board, since you are going to upgrade it sooner or later thus there is no issue so buying 890FX. As per my knowledge, the dissimilarity between 890FX and 870is pci-e lane count. My MSI 890FXA-GD70 has like 5-6 pci-e x16-x8 slots. So there is no need of it since you are going to use only single GPU. I hope this will help you to reduce the cost of the overall build for your system.

    I just looked back at Newegg recently, and I suggested that 850W just sold there. Can be found in downtown, but I'll have to look. The 750W version is $ 99.99 after rebate on Newegg of course. Anyone knows who owes me 870 board to go, if I had to wait for the AM3 + tables. As it should be the next best option for the money. Finally I would like crossfire, but I feel I might wait until the AM3 + sockets to make that happen. Overclocking is important however. Other suggestions for reducing this working out for a little price have not been mentioned?

    Here are my thoughts that case has almost no cooling. It would pull about $ 100 in it. Second, the RAM you selected does not give much room for overclocking and have said it's important. Also, if you will be jumping on the AM3 + trip when you get to spend as little as possible in a MB. MSI board also preferred initially looks good. Just try to sort out the things which you need and remove all unused components.

    Why exactly you hold for an AM3 motherboard? Do you intend to go with a Bulldozer CPU? If so, then start buying some of the components now, and no hard disk and / or SDD, power supply, so the GPU and operating system. I would hold off the RAM, motherboard and CPU to Bulldozer goes. That is, if you are an enduring person. I did not piece together a draft now that intends to improve in a few months unless you have money to burn.

    I initially had gone for the Antec 900 hundred to 100 dollars, but it was recommended by someone to go with the Antec Solo for their ability to buffer the sound I guess. I'm not really sold at this time in the MSI that I have that combo suggested by someone else. It seems a little weak for features compared to the Rock and Gigabyte Like all the same price range. Any ideas on what the MB is best for around $ 100 more or less with most of the amounts of characteristics and organized easier considering that this will be my first time doing it. As for getting around 4.0 GHz or more in organized crime, if I can.
