Another revision. Switched the Western Digital 320GB with a Seagate Barracuda 500GB. Same price. So still $697.00. No monitor. Hoping to get one for 60$ or so. And blow my socks off! Microcenter has the 2500k at 189!. The i5 2400 is only 150! WOW!. Almost 30$ difference from Newegg...

Yeah you've got me .... Double the HDD for the same price? I dunno. Already switched lol. As for the HDD as a whole I do not worry too much about those yet. It will be awhile before I even load up on the 160GB let alone 320GB.

lol. Then the 500w would be the best way to go? Already got one in the cart now. The one suggested above. I could save plenty of dough going with a H61 micro atx motherboard but I just get jittery going cheap on a motherboard. Or what seems like cheap. Last thing I want is to build this...

Hey guys. Going to throw my situation at you and see what sort of help I can get. Already started on another thread in the GPU section. Trying to build the most reasonable computer possible for AROUND 700$. May be able to go up to 750$ if absolutely necessary. The CURRENT build...

Will it being Micro ATX mess anything up? I just dont want to mess around with the motherboard and just get something that allows me to upgrade in the future. Dont want to have to replace a motherboard anytime soon as that is alot harder then changing out a GPU or HDD.

Thanks again. Will 430w be sufficient enough for this current build? I actually got a few leads on Craigslist for some cheaper used monitors that look decent enough. Never used Craigslist though.

lol. Alright scratch that then. Any power supply with a several page disclaimer will not be bought by me. Weird though how it is a 5 egg product on Newegg.

Yeah it looks like that will be the way to go for me. Thanks for the help. Sorry about the 5770 thing lol. Don't ask me, I have no idea how I skipped over it. Main reason for the inking out every penny is due to the budget I have. Trying to keep this entire build around 700$ with a monitor...

lol god knows how many times I looked at that dumb thing and thought it said 5770 for some reason. There goes that plan! Yeah 5770's are 120$ it looks like. Which is better a GTX 550 or a 5770?

What could an i5 2400 and a Radeon 5770 handle game wise? The monitor I currently have in the cart is recommended at 1440 x 900 resolution. The main, upcoming, games I want to play are, of course Skyrim and Diablo III. Not too interested in anything else. Could that combo handle those games...
