just looking for peoples thoughts on it CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H Graphic - XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 RAM - CORSAIR XMS3 4GB Power - Recertified: PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad Red 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Case - COOLER MASTER Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP then also gonna get a cpu cooler thinking of the ZALMAN CNPS9700
I think that that is a very nice machine, but if I were building a PC like that, then I'd go with a stronger VGA - HD5850 or something.
well, in a budget case, HD5770 is the way to go, I agree. I am satisfied w/ the performance, but I reckon that it'll reach its limits soon.
...and the time that it takes for a system to get outdated has shortened severely in the past couple of years. Unless you go for a overkill at the dawn of a new technology (like now - a latest lga13xx cpu + 2x dx11 dualcore cards + gigs of ram @ 2.0 ghz), you're sure to reach your systems borders now - in benchmarking software for example and newer games at big resolutions.
