Tell me if im missing anything or any ideas you have.

Will be adding a sound blaster titanium to the build as well.

now correct me if i am wrong onany of this.
The MSI 5850 has overclocking warrenty and overvolting warrenty, also it comes with afterburner.
The MB CPU and RAM are compatable.
The PSU is able to Xfire at a later date.
And that i dont need any other cables or items to build the pc with.


I will install windows 7 upgrade fresh onto the F3 hardrive using this guide. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/31402-clean-install-upgrade-windows-7-version.html

Thanks for any advice.

Well i would personally get the Thermaltake case....I would prefer the Coolermaster CM690 II, but apart from that its good build overall.
Im just talking from my view but i would get a Phenom II 955 instead of i5 750
 
I did look at the coolermaster cm690 II but chose the element G as it came with the larger fans, fan controler and could turn the leds off.

was a close call though.
 
Going to overclock both, i am right that the MSI 5850 comes with overclocking warrenty and overvolting warrenty?
 
I don't know I'm afraid. I was more wondering whether you wanted a 3rd-party cooler for better CPU overclocks - the Corsair H50-1 is a popular choice for example.
 
Get a Corsair VX 550 / HX 650 / TX 650 non-crossfire motherboard and dump the whole idea of crossfiring in the future. Why? Because by the time you do, the 5850 won't be worth crossfiring due to newer cards.
