ProRev - Couple changes

Hmm well you guys don't think $204 (after MIR are cashed) for a XFX 5770 + OCZ ModXStream 700w is a good deal?

Keep in mind a 5770 = $180

Won't the PSU be good enough to CF a 5770? I know it's the most important part in my rig, but people are saying it's a quality build. I forgot who OCZ bought out, but the name had Power in it.

I see your good deal and raise you a much better one!

This is in CAD so actually like 285$ USD?

Yes, it was called Power & Cooling. For $24 bucks a 700w psu sounds phenomenal!

So if I see a 965 + mobo deal, I should hop on it right away?

I mean microcenter sells a 965 for the same price as a 955 on newegg.

There is no point for me to drive 1 hour to go to a microcenter, and 1 hour back to save $10.

Unless I am going with a i7 - 920 ($200) Foxconn Bloodrage GTi ($212) build.
Then I can go ahead and purchase 2x Scythe S-Flex 120mm fans + Proli Megahalems.

The thing is... I might sell my sig for $250 (the rig in my sig ofc) and use the money for a new case + hd + memory.

If you guys stay tuned, hopefully frys electronics can post up there newest offers for the 29th.

So I should most definately go for a X4? I really want this rig to play the new Battlefield BC2 dropping on March 2nd, but I don't know what is recommended for the game.

I'm so lost, and new... Can you guys throw out a couple specific good AM3 mobos. Just in case they do sell it at frys with the 965, I can grab it right away.

Thank you so much, it's always a great feeling when someone backs up a deal.

Quote:
Yeah, but mine includes 4gb ddr3 too and it has 2 $20 mir which bring it down to $351.... and ummm yours is out of stock!

Quote:
Oh, how long is this deal lasting for? And how many people also approve of this.

EDIT: This is even under my budget, meaning I can get a HAF922 case and a WD Caviar Black!
Oh I need an optical drive too, why not? haha!

Well.. what do you guys prefer. New gaming rig, will be using it for 2-3+ years.

Do I get a 965 or 955? There are two combo deals listed, and I would love to hear from everyone.

Thanks MrAMD_Fan you rock.

I have exactly $500 to spend.

Keep in mind I might sell my current computer.. and I wanted to keep my old school 250gb WD, and my discontinued CoolerMaster mid-tower case.

But since the guy offered $250, I can use that for a optical drive/HD/case.

Win-win situation.

For mobo/cpu and even memory.. I have $500. I can boost that to $555, max.

Quote:
I already have $350 budget for psu/gpu. I only spent $262, and that includes tax (I am waiting to cash in the 35 MIR, to make it $227)
So that is a gift from my uncle. He said he will help me out with another $100.

I have $350 saved up, so that's $450. I'm sure I can add another $105 to that budget.

So I have a total of $555 to spend on a CPU/Mobo/Memory

If this guy pays up for my rig, but he's broke... I will have another $250 added to my budget for a new case, optical drive, and hd.

So what do you guys say:

With tax: $452 for a i7 920 + Foxconn Bloodrage GTI.
But I would have to spend $120 on air cooling.
$40 for 2x Scythe S-Flex fans, and $80 for a Proli Megahalems.

I would still need memory. =\\

I know this is the AMD section, but I don't mind bringing in Intel into the scene.

I just want to game, no rendering, and no movie watching.

I know I can save money and purcahse an optical drive, hd, and case.

So please keep in mind I have $555 for a cpu/mobo/and memory.

I have the money to spend though, and I really wouldn't mind putting it to use. I could go the saving money route on the cpu. I FPS game, and GPU is the most important factor.. so that means I can have money to CF.

Not too sure, feel free to chime in. Frys hasn't posted up the combo deals, yet.
