I would splurge and go for a 790X board, they are 1 step down from the flagship line
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...130172&Tpk=msi thats only $5 more EDIt: Also 460W should be enough unless you plan on CF in the future and it saves you $10

I agree with you, the 790FX MSI is selling for $70 more, but just for clarification, such suggestions cannot apply in this case because of a fairly strict budget. That is, unless there is something inherently wrong with a component, please do not ask me to upgrade.

I agree, get a 790FX board, they are superior for overclocking the new Phenoms from what I hear.
Why the 9600 quad? It's the older model and not as great as beastly as the Black Editions. The 9850 is $200 which I think is a pretty good deal considering they've been known to clock to at least 3ghz fairly easily, same with the new 9950. And as great as the new 4850-4870's are, I don't see why everyone is jumping the bandwagon with them. Go with an older 8800 series and save yourself some bones. The G92 is still a bad ass core, especially the GTS, which was going for only $150 on www.fxvideocards.com last I knew. Also I think you could do better on finding cheaper RAM. Just a thought, I know deals spring up all the time so maybe its gone cold lately or something. EDIT: On 2nd thought, I didn't realize just how cheap the 4800 series was for the performance they give. $300 for that combo deal isn't saving much considering most of the 4850's are about $150 after rebates and the 9600, I think, is hovering around $160. I would personally go with a 9850BE and a cheap 8800GT or GTS.

I see the confusion. I speak of the 790FX MSI.
