I found this crazy newegg deal for $432: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboBu...t=Combo.343621
The components seemed to be very well rated. I might go for that since I'm not really looking for an i5. Although, I'm not sure if the i3-530 will bottleneck my HD 5750, though. That is my main concern. I want something I can take with me to university and I'm certainly not carrying my main rig.
EVGA? I've had a better track record with them than ASUS.Quote:

A computer I built earlier this year was with an ASUS board, though. They're fine from what little experience I have with them. :shrug:

yes, buy new ones
Basing my statement purely on a "number of reviews to number of eggs" ratio. ASUS took all the top spots, had to scroll down to get to eVGA. But I digress, eVGA makes some good spec boards as well.
Personally, I like DFI. BIOS with many options would see a lot of use by me if I had one.

I think this will all work together. Someone confirm this. Thoughts / criticism please.

Looks good to me. I'd rather have the 2GB Eyefinity HD5870, but the benches show that only nets you a few extra frames per second. 850W seems slightly low if you intend to add another HD5870 later. I like to have a large power safety net, even though PSUs are more efficient closer to their peak load. But then again, I don't pay the bills either.
Good RAM is good.
well, not really building a computer but i'm moving to pharmacy school this coming fall and i am in need of a good laptop
budget is around 1200 dollars
it's got to be able to handle modern games (bf:bc2 and eve online mainly) on a decent resolution
