well then I guess I wont need a new power supply or the 790fx motherboard.
The reason I say November is because that is when Modern Warfare 2 comes out, and that is really the next game I plan on playing, and the main reason for building this computer. So maybe I am better off waiting until...
Thanks HG, you have been a really big help! :) I just have a couple questions :
-why the corsair 750tx over the 650tx? Is the 650tx be enough for 4890 crossfire?
-is it worth spending the extra $50-$60 on a 790fx motherboard for the 16x/16x pci-e lanes vs the 8x/8x on the 790x?

now im thinking about getting a phenom x3 720 instead of the x4.. and maybe a SSD with the savings.
Basically I just have one question, I am building a PC that is for gaming only (well besides just browsing the web) and i was wondering which setup would be better at 1900x1080?
Phenom x4 940 OC'd to 3.6-4.0
4gb ddr2
4890 crossfire
OR
i7 920 OC'd to 3.8-4.0
6gb ddr3
4890 (no CF)...
I am 55 second prestige. I would be a lot higher if I actually wanted to get to 10th but I really don't even care. I wish I wouldnt have prestiged in their first place but it was an impulse decision.
