i don't know what cpu/mobo will work good together etc thats why im asking for help if i went and bought suff that doesn't go well together i wouldn't be too happy.

Looks good. That's just about what I'm getting: http://hardware.gotfrag.com/portal/forums.. (on bottom)

I'm assuming you already have a DVD/CD drive?

yeah i already those hmm its amazing how much cheaper your parts are in the US but i guess its because of the currency im thinking i should maybe change the PSU. Your pc looks nice =)

i think the 520hx is cheaper and will suit ur needs instead of the vx550. evrything else looks fine

Intel e6750 / Asus p5k / 2GB Patriot / 8800 gts 640 / 250GB / Antec 900 Case / Corsair hx520 PSU

both of those PSU's are $132 -.- no price difference

well, I have the 450VX. The difference (the only one I know of) between HX and VX is that HX has modular cabling and VX does not. 520 will probably be no different to 550, so go for the HX.

450vx could power that computer fine (watts doesn't matter nearly as much as you think, it's more about quality), 520hx might be better for a future upgrade though. Looks fine, but I bet you could get 2 gigs of decent ram for cheaper, I got 2x1gb for $35 with rebate (not very good for ocing, but it's ok).

poland i guess, it's more expensive in the UK than in US so I'd imagine it's more expensive in poland again.
