I'd swap the hdd for this:

EDIT: and if you like you could get an aftermarket CPU Cooler.

what's the difference between the hdd you suggest and the one i got in the shopping basket ?

btw which graphics card u would suggest for me to pick? the ati i got 4890 or gtx 260? which is faster/better for the price or any other u may suggest for resolution i chosen? or i should stick with 4890 if i am willing to go for crossfire later on?

it would be great if such pc could last for 2 years without upgrading

TBH, with such a lovely system its a shame its only going to be running a TN 20" screen.

PSU is overkill, get this unless you plan of Multi GPU - in that case get this.

I agree that a chance to a WD Black 1TB would make sense - much more consistent performance.

Antec 1200 is a good case, might want to have a look at this one too.

i figured the psu would be the overkill for 1 graphics card but i am planing to add another ati 4890 next year so i am actualy doubting if the 850 psu is enough? i am not much in computers so the suggestions are always welcome.

also thank you people for showing that black hdd i will get it for sure since u say it's faster.

Don't get the stock 4890 get the xfx 4890

i dont see the difference between retail one and the xfx, why should i get the xfx which is priced 20 squid even more?

850W will be fine for a dual 4890 system, you could probably get away with 750W, but 850 will give you loads of headroom.






The awesome warranty deal with OCUK/XFX:

that figures

hm, i can't seem to figure, how come the mother board i have in the shopping basket wont show any infos about crossfire? does it meant it does not support more than 1 graphics card?
