I'm looking for a build that will support most modern games and lots of multitasking. I want to keep things as cheap as possible while remaining reliable.

Currently decided on, but still open to suggestions:
Case
Video/Graphics Card
Processor
Motherboard
RAM
Power Supply

Still need:
I think that's everything.

Looking at mobos, this one is nice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130224
Don't know how an "easy oc" switch works, but its got dual pci x16. Takes ddr3 to the highest. AM3 socket so you're set on that. Will run the new Phenom II x6. Psu, go with cooler master or corsair. Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277
Get it while ram prices are a bit fair. These went down over 10 bucks so far.

I personally want to upgrade to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171037 which I still have not, I know, I sad. Some may say 700w is overkill but I call it room to expand. Getting a 4850, you will want to get a 5800 series card eventually.

I think I'll get that one, it seems to be pretty reliable, and it isn't TOO expensive.

Paying 110 dollars for a PSU is retarded, you are better off getting a better card or case for that kind of money.

Could you point me to a better deal? I only chose that one because most of the reviews showed no cons.
I don't wanna buy a $50+ piece of hardware and it end up not working later.

This should do justice:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005

70 dollars after MiR


Also this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341022

55 after MiR

>better deal. I would go with that 750w you posted up2. Its not retarded to pay a lot for a big psu. If you cheap out on it and it blows up in your face, literally, the rest of your hardware will go with it.

As one of a member has mentioned before, why does all of these "help me with my build" turns out to be a PSU debate?

Seriously what does $20 bucks going to get OP in terms of a better gpu or case? If you don't notice the Corsair 650w and 750w is $20 dollar difference.
For $20 I'll rather get the 750w which bring more headroom for the parts I wanted to add for the years to come without me worrying if my system will have enough juice or not.

Think of what you want to add later on down road instead of what your planning to use right now, that way you will save a lot and people who buys $110 ain't retarded.

So my psu runs at 850w and cost me $200 now what does that make me? A full blown psycho, right!?

Better off why don't you configure a fully high-end gaming machine with the whole nine yards under $1000 including fees.

I doubt OP is going to upgrade in the future but whatever, just trying to give my two cents.

Sure I will, I might actually buy a better case in the future too. This is all just stuff for the meantime, since it's all I can afford right now.
Thanks for the input guys.
