better card, the rest seems good to go
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

depends on the PSU you buy. A 9800 might need extra watts, but running 4770 on 400W isn't exactly hard.

I'm buying a new PC next week too. A 19inch monitor will cost me ~120euro and then I plan to spend like 400euro for the computer. Here is what I thought:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93Ghz
Video: Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
Ram: 4GB

Any thoughts on this? I'm not a computer expert; I just like Intel/Nvidia, and picked what seemed the best options for a 400euro PC.

Look here : http://www.computerbase.de/forum/showthread.php?t=215394

those graphic cards are so outdated however have very good performance. (ok except 5670)
430W PSU is absolute minimum for the setup you suggested!! go for 500W, it is just slightly more expensive


Sure the cards are outdated but they have good price-performance ratio.

a 350W PSU sure can run the setup. You can check here : http://www.enermax.outervision.com/PSUEngine. But as you suggested, a 430W PSU cost just like 5€ more and have some reserve capacity for later upgrade.

Don't go for a 4850 because with ~ 100€ u can buy a 5750, quicker and more energy-efficient + DX11.

I will. But I'm somekind of lost with all this recommendations.

I think about the 5750 (btw what brand is it, im a real hardware noob sry)
do i need to change the power supply too in this case?

AMD produced chips and reference design. Another Vendors ( Asus, MSI, Club3d, Powercolor, Sapphire...) sell cards with their own design (mostly another fan) and cards with reference design too.
The quality ist almost the same, so you can take the cheapest one u can find.

I recommend a Price Search Engine like Geizhals.at

ok i give it another try

AMD Athlon II X4 620 Box AM3
Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB, SATA II (HD502HJ)
4GB-Kit A-Data XPG-G PC3-10667 CL8
BE Quiet! Pure Power 430 Watt / BQT L7
MSI 785GM-E51, Sockel AM3, mATX, PCIe
Club3D Radeon 5750 1024MB, ATI Radeon 5750, PCI-Express

I think this is almost the final build -> unless i need to exchange the power supply.

I agree with Pakje. mATX = micro board. Less expansion slots and significantly smaller than a regular ATX motherboard, usually for about the same price of a lower/mid end board.

CPU: outdated technology
Video: same
Ram: I'm not sure you can squeeze 4 gig in a 400euro computer

for that budget the parts will look more like this

Like it was mentioned before. Go for at least 500W PSU. I'm not sure if 430W will even be able to handle all this stuff and if it will, it's going to run at it's full capacity thus being louder than 500W on lesser load.
