i7 have no improvement over gaems (barely any gaem uses quad), if you strictly play gaems, go for i5 or phenom II x3 720,955 etc.
stop spending so much money on a PSU, buy a OCZ 600w modxpro or some antec earthwatt, seasonic, corsair, pc&c, silverstone, emermax etc....
protip: the 5830 is coming soon, so does the fermi, you might want to wait out.
protip2: crossfire 5770 have the best price/ratio(also is a shit series for the poor and fanboy), shit if the gaem you play doesn't have crossfire (Bad company II beta, HoN)
if i remember, there's a CM scout case for sale at newegg for $60 USD after rebate, it has so nice feature similar to the haf ( red led, nice management, etc)

also, check if you have microcenter, they have the i5 + p55a ud3p combo for $210, or check FRY's, they sometime have the i5 combo + evga, asus, or gigabyte mobo for $200 USD

fucking fanboy on bottom post

If you're only gaming, Phenom II X4, i5 and i7 have almost no difference.

Go for a Phenom II X4 because it's a cheapest.

i5 is pretty useful if you play on doing some artwork, or video encoding, the Turbo Boost function is really useful, overclocks up to 3.2ghz per core iirc.

i7 is just overkill.

Well, this is pretty much the final list:

I'm almost POSATIVE that when the 5850 comes back into stock it will be with a discount.

you can buy the ocz 600w for half of the price, or buy the 550VX for better quality and warranty, fuck, wattage doesn't matter.

Well, since all you guys could figure out to argue about is the moniter this time, I suppose it's case closed. I like the monitor, I'm not crazy about giant resolution. I'm quite used to using computers with small resolution, and I'm not crazy about huge screens anyway. 1680x1050 fine for me, and the xfx 5850 will be all the more awesome when it doesn't have to put up with maximum res. (Side note- some reviews said something about frozen pixels on that moniter. Seems pretty unlikely, I'll take my chances)

Alot of you wanted me to get an AMD core, but then I'd have to find another motherboard that's not as good, another type of ram, and I quite like the mobo/processor/ram right now. The i5 WILL air overclock to 3.4 (I mean, it has 3.2 ghz normal capacity with that turbo boost shit) at least, and then even more when I decide to buy liquid cooling.
