Ok guys it is upgrade time..so i decided to ask for your opinions.
I decided to buy a CM690 and Corsair tx750...
Now for the mobo cpu and the rest i'm kinda ...undecided.
I know the software is always a generation behind hardware...and in hardware branch things are moving very fast.
I know that there are not future proof computers.
I want the best bang for my hard earned buck that's all.
the whole build must not exceed 800 eu \1000 usd .
I already decided to buy an ATI 4850 or if the price will go down a bit a 4870 ddram5
So CPU mobo,RAm and a decent HDD....
Any input is welcomed..

Wow...

Starting this a little backwards aren't you? The case and especially the PSU are generally the last things you want to get. PSU is last becaus you want to know the power needs of the system before you buy the PSU. The case is generally twards the end, in my book, since thats one of the few items you can get away with cutting cost on.

lol
Sorry Mike but i had 2 days with only 8 hours of sleep
Maybe i should edit my post ...
But i think a 750w Corsair will be enough..

Core i7 920 w/ a x58 mobo (at this point, they are all pretty similar).

3GB DDR3 RAM.

1TB Samsung F1 HDD

Those are my suggestions, assuming budget permits.

Yeah i was going to suggest the i7 920 with the MSI x58 mobo.
The MSI cheap one does Xfire since he is looking at either a
4850 or 4870.

Also most of the DDR3 i see is pretty cheap.

750W PSU will be sufficient for most anything. Case... just get something that will be able to handle what you want to put inside of it.
An i7 920 and X58 Platinum, definitely 3GB DDR3... I wouldn't buy more until the price comes down. I don't know if you would want any new HDD's or not. The 4850's are really nice cards and I enjoy mine @ 1440x900. If you need a higher resolution card, than the 4870's are great.

I find a bit expensive the i7 920 and the DDRAM3+ mobo ..
yes i know is pretty stupid to buy relative old stuff when the i7 is out...
Well i will rethink my budget

Hey Anticupidon.

When you say "the whole build" must be $1000 or less... does that include the case/PSU you've already bought? If so, can you tell us how much of the $1k is left to play with?

Hello 1Tanker
yes in the same budget i must squeeze everything.
I found i7 920 priced 297 euros
then Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 priced 210 euros
well some ddram3 and a 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint..
I think my budget is kinda tight

You do a lot of rendering, CAD stuff...IIRC.. don't you? If that's the case, a quad would be preferrable for you.

That´s what put the Nehalem on the list....my CAD work
