Is your motherboard plugged into your PSU with both the 24 pin and either the 4pin or 4+4 pin? Ah ha! That got it. I needed to plug in the 4 pin connecter from the power supply into the motherboard. Thank you! :D | ||

What is your budget? Around $600 What is your resolution? 1680x1050 What are you using it for? Gaming, streaming and watching videos. What is your upgrade cycle? 3-5 years. When do you plan on building it? Immediately. Do you plan on overclocking? No, I don't think he plans on overclocking. Do you need an Operating System? He got windows 7, so no. Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire? I don't think he wants to SLI nor Crossfire. Where are you buying your parts from? Frys, Newegg and Amazon. | ||

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878 A HD 5830 is still enough to play SC2 on ultra at 1680x1050. Get a $40 2 x 2GB DDR3 RAM kit as suggested earlier. | ||
