Jlab yes, at the moment the ATi cards are better. Depending on your budget, you can either go for a 4850 ($100), or a 5750 ($130). The 5750 provides better performance and has DX11 support.

It's an ATX case and you have an ATX motherboard so there shouldn't be any huge problems.

Last questions,
Is This(1) card equivalent to This(2) graphics card, because they both are the same to me.

Is there something i should get thats better than Corsair for memory?

different fan/rad and probably bundles ( who cares ).
Should have no difference performance wise.

edit: the more expensive has two DVI ports and a lifetime limited warranty

edit: and 1Gb memory vs 512 ( but shouldn't matter on this kind of gpu )

The second card has 1GB of VRAM whereas the first card has 512MB. It shouldn't really make much of a difference either way though. By the time the graphics card must use over the 512MB it has, the playability of the game will already be zero.

Corsair is one of the most respected brands of RAM out there. GSkill seems to have better responses on Newegg for customer support though.

Okay so as my final build (subject to change if necessary) i have This

NOTE: The more expensive graphics card is on the list so that i may pick a new one later if i can afford it.

OOPS: Is there any advantage in getting this Box that comes with a power supply and removing the power supply to save money? or is it a shitty power supply?

dunno this brand but the antec has better specs and +2 years warranty.

A PSU with only one year warranty is kinda suspicious imo.

I believe this is that PSU

The 12V rail is only 21A so I would advise against it.

If you want that case, get it by itself
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156223

Though I would suggest against it after reading some of the reviews.

I hope that's a typo, since many should take offense to it.

Anyone have any thought on the i7 970 line? Curious how low a price they can push.

Wikipedia says 970 debuts at $562 and that the 980x debuts at $999.

Doubt it :D

Though I hope with the new i7s the 920 becomes cheaper (maybe I want too much~)

Im gonna upgrade maybe with a a little over 300-400 USD budget. Almost a complete overhaul to be honest. My system could probably run SC2 right now but other games such as BFBC2 runs like like shit on extreme low(Its still BETA, nonetheless my PC is pretty old).

System now:
MSI P6N
E6420
2GB DDR2 800
4770 512MB
My PSU sucks balls, not gonna even bother listing it. Its CM but the fan on it makes a terrible grinding noise, and I happened to gotten used to it(Although it still works perfectly fine). Gonna replace it anyway.

Need some recommendations for my future overhaul though.
Some decent AM3 Mobo that maybe can OC well(Crosshair is $$$$$$$$$)
X4 955
4GB DDR3 1033
A cheap non-overkill PSU
W7 Ultimate

$400 isn't going to get you much on that list. It'll get the 955, the DDR3 RAM, and the PSU, but nothing else.

955 C3 Stepping $160
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808&cm_re=955-_-19-103-808-_-Product
Easier OC than C2 955, and for some reason it's cheaper.

DDR3 $100
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145263&cm_re=DDr3-_-20-145-263-_-Product
I'm not sure why you want 1067 RAM, since AM3 supports 1333 natively...

550W Antec PSU $60
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016&cm_re=Antec_550W-_-17-371-016-_-Product
High quality Antec PSU

That leaves you $80 for both mobo and Windows 7 Ultimate.

In which case you aren't actually upgrading, you're just building a new computer.

I believe that if his mobo can support a C2D, it can drop in a C2Q
