Not going for awesome here, just better then what I'm currently struggling on.

Thoughts? Worth 700 bucks?

For 700 Bucks, NICE MAN/ You should get 8v8 lowest graphics 200-300 fps. Im upgrading to a 6670 this Christmas when it comes out. Nice snag bud.

Those Phenom II's are beast.

I'd pay £400 for that rig right now. Good value to me.

no, not really

ditch the SSD and 5670

Get these:

Samsung F3 500GB
ATI HD 5770
any ram with 1333 or above

operating system?

its not intended for gaming, but speed

Unless you can find me a 500GB SSD for 100 bucks, I'm not switching it out for a mechanical one.
I cut out 80-some bucks by picking the 5670, it stays



I'll run xp on it unless devs fixed the issues with win7

I'm dedicating a 1TB NAS for massive file storage, I'm going to run OS and software on the SSD for sick performance.


I stream music anyway, and video gets streamed on to the TV from a laptop.

Your build is similar to mine.

I got ddr2 ram instead of ddr3 because of my budget

I have a mid atx case that came with a 500w psu ($50)
4g ddr2 800mhz ram (from older comps)
2.8ghz quad core am3 ($100 at the time)
137gb hard drive (from older comp)
ati raedon hd 5770 ($160)
windows xp 32bit
MA785GM-US2h (70-80 if I remember correctly)







it runs beautifully.
Pretty cheap build too.
