Post back here when you're ready to build one. That would be the ideal time to start hunting for components.

OK well i am abandoning my "dreams" of building my computer, with school started, I am not getting enough hours to even buy a game, so instead I will upgrade my computer I have right now to the best I can, so Ram, Processor, Video Card, and if my power supply cant handle it, A New Power Supply. This will cost a lot less but I dont know what is compatible with my computer, so that's where you come in. I know a couple a things about my computer, The motherboard only supports 8 GB's of Ram and I think it MIGHT have a built in CPU, so upgrading may not be possible. Here is a link to my computer specs - The Model Is HP Pavilion Media Center M8532F - Link - [url]http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01492768&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3752873&lang=en[/url]
So any help will do and the cheapest possible methods would be appreciated. Thnx. I will be on here at least twice a day (my school doesn't block this site XD) so recent updates will be submitted and reply's will be often. Thnx for the help guyz! |

I think ill go for this
CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 ... - Retail SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100269VXLE Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail Because it has HDMI support which I love and it has good performance, I also dont think it will be out dated by the time iI get it which will be in about a month or so, well see how I get paid |

I'd say that you should go with the HD 5850 along with the Corsair 650TX.

The Sapphire version of the 5870 was available for a short time yesterday on newegg, at $379. You hafta be diligent and willing to check religiously
 I'm sure you can come up with either the 5870 or 5850 eventually.

Yes. The 4890 1gb (saphire toxic ^^) is a great choice, my vote still lives with the 5850 though, of course, it is difficult to find and rather expensive.
