^^This, I'd say get a quality 650/750w (Antec True Power New 650/750w, Corsair HX650/HX750w, or an XFX 750w Black Edition)

Also, get the AMD Phenom II X4 965 125w, it's the newer C3 stepping (vs the C2 stepping of the 140w) so it'll overclock better (most C2s don't like going past 3.9ghz, but C3s don't have an issue with that)

Why not.... lol, No I just thought it might be good to have one larger than I need in-case I add more fans or a different cooling system one day... i really want this comp to last me 5 years..

I've never had a comp better than the 300 buck deal from dell, which im using right now, and I want something to tinker with and like I said there are a few games coming out that I want to play and in my older age I want it to be awesome when I fire it up with no latency issues or hitches like my mom and dads use to do back in 1999 lol, im so old lol

So your saying that the use the 965 at 125w not the 140w due to it allows more OC... sweet ill check into it,

I also need a full tower case that will grow with me and has plenty of room for cool fans and LED's lol

thanks again

The Cooler Master HAF932 is very popular because it's large, has good airflow and cable management, and many people like the looks. I'm not a fan of the military theme, but you may like it. If not, check out the Antec 1200, it's one of my favorite cases.

There is nothing wrong with the H50 and I would hold out for the 1090T and a 890FX mobo.

Just wait about a week. You'll be glad you did. Also Seagate is crap for hard drives IMO. I would look for a WD or Hitachi.

It might. For instance mine supports it and its an "old" 790GX. Now if you get a 8xx series mobo it will fit without a doubt.

I really want to stay with the AMD, this six core cpu is right up with what i want, the best of the best... plus im sure it will eat anything i throw at it with the graphics card i picked! right?

The GPU is fine. I run a 5850 and with a GX or FX board you can always go crossfire.
