You could try to get an AMD 965, for a few more bucks, but really there is no big difference from the 955 and 965.

 

Your motherboard is M ATX, the smaller kind of Motherboards, make sure your case is M ATX compatiable, but I would go for an ATX motherboard.

This one would be perfect.

Alright so I took some advice and changed a few things.

 

Went with the Corsair PSU

Got Regionals mobo http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131366

Went with 5770 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125327 (I think is comparable to the one Trak posted)

And went with the 955 instead.

What watts are you looking in for a PSU?

 

My original build had the 965, but for 20$ less I lose .2 ghz. I could OC (well learn to OC) and apparently it's pretty easy with the mobo I'm getting.

 

EDIT: $1066.17 with shipping so far.

I have the 955 to, the 965 is easier to clock as it has a better multiplier, the 955 is only x4.

That fact that it "works" doesnt make it good... do some reading on jonnyguru and you'll understand.. now for the price the OCZ is ok (I have it 500W same model and jonny reviewed the 600 decently) but a corsair for one would me much quieter and two better quality/more reliable!

 

About the CPU we were just saying that the increase of .2 Ghz isnt worth the 20 bucks...for that matter you can OC that much using stock cooler. Its the same CPU..

That 20 bucks can go somewhere more useful LIKE A CORSAIR PSU!!!!:laugh:

 

 

euhm but it is good, why isn't it good, i mean i payed like €69 for mine like 3 years ago, and it still works, and is very quiet the only thing that makes a lot of noise is the new CPU cooler i put on it, it's just you got the whole Corsair business stuck in your head thats why you keep saying go for Corsair :yawn:
