MasterofXDBut can't we get 6GB RAM.. I'll get another internal w/e. You guys are really confusing me now. I don't know what to pick already! Can we stick with the ones I posted and just decide on those and switch some stuff around? My due date for the list for yesterday, I managed to push it a few days, can we decide quickly?.. Not trying to be mean.
3 sticks of 2GB would give 6GB and would work well in a triple channel system. Some intel based systems are triple channel (I think only some of the i7s are), whereas the rest and all AMD systems are dual channel.I've given my suggestion for a specification, Suiseiseki has given his, which is no less valid than mine, however an AM3/bulldozer/discrete GPU system will cost more than the system I gave, and from mine you had roughly $125 left, so essentially you're still $175 under budget. It is certainly possible to build an AMD system along the lines of what Suiseiseki suggested for around $1,000, perhaps slightly less, quite possibly within your $850 budget, but I think you'd be hard pushed to get a decent gaming system using intel hardware within your budget.

Dual Core?
Loony is this any good? AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition/965 Black Edition
Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3
6GB DDR3 (do I have to get 3 - 2GB ones right? Recommend the 2GB rams then =p Gotta be specific)
ATi Radeon 5770/6770
Antec TruePower TP-650W
Case (suggest one please!)
500GB Seagate Barracuda INTERNAL HD (replace this though, recommendations?)Since it's mostly for gaming and after reading it, apparently doesn't need too many upgrades (I wont be able to upgrade alot.)
Also suis, what's the total price for this? What am I missing and can you guys recommend parts for whatever is missing?
