Switch the PSU to a Corsair CX-430 V2 ($20 saving) because the GPU only uses one PCIe connector. Pretty sure the 6770 only uses one, can't see why it wouldn't because its just a HD5770 with 1.4 HDMI. If you want to cut down on the GPU cost, get the HIS Radeon HD6770 for $115...a HD6770 should not be $135.
Besides that, you aren't going to be able to shave a lot off besides downgrading the CPU to an i3-2100 (~$70), getting the rock bottom Asrock H61 motherboard (~20), getting 4GB of RAM instead of 8GB (~30), or buying a smaller hard disk (don't do this, its the least economical option). What I recommend most is probably getting a cheaper motherboard and getting only 4GB of memory.
4GB of memory is sufficient for day to day use but if you want 8GB, this is the cheapest kit on PCCG. Americans just get 8gb these days because its like $40 for them, not because they actually need it.
As far as I can see, the motherboard you picked adds USB3 and SATA3 to it and not much else. If you aren't going to get a current generation SSD, SATA3 is useless; USB3 can be added to the system through a PCI card later down the road he really needs to use it.
Also you might want to get a 7200RPM drive, like a Caviar Blue or Samsung F3 Spinpoint, instead of the Caviar Green. Assuming he's using it to dump his operating system onto it.

He pretty much only wants it for gaming. Shanks for any help  So we have basically have a 566 dollar budget for a gaming computer? 537 actually with that wireless adapter. I hope you don't need to add in a Windows 7 as well.
You're going to get i3 2100, no room for luxuries with that budget and works great for gaming, 119$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16725
You also will be going with the cheapest H61, 53$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16898
I'd actually think it's worthwhile to go for a 6870 as it's this cheap in comparison, 169$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17212
If you really want 8gb get 2 of these, 46$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16699 x2
If 4gb is enough after all, either go for only one of above for single channel(23$), or this for dual, 29$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16728
7200RPM and cheaper, Samsung Spinpoint 1TB 7200RPM, 54$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12711
Antec Basiq 500W is very good and reliable and it's cheap, 80+ cert, 55$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=15318
You don't need a Three Hundred, just get an Elite 331, 39$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4969
Just get this optical drive, you save a few bucks, 22$: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17348
With the screen and wireless adapter and keyboard etc that's a total of 720$. Just go with 4gb ram if that's a problem
You can save 16 dollars by getting this network adapter instead if you really want to: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=13887
However, I'd just be happy with the 720$ cost as that should be an awesome computer for the cost.
btw WOW they have 109 dollar Leopolds with red switches goddammit Europe take notes.

hey guys! i'm rebuilding my desktop in 3 months after my final year papers (or maybe before that), so who else to turn to for some good advice on tech?
what i'm looking for are: 1) no-noise fans 2) cool-looking chassis not necessary (i may reuse my old one, looks like this http://www.coolermaster.com.sg/product.php?product_id=6607) 3) a graphics card that will allow me to play any game at max settings while recording in HD, all with little/no noise and heat. price range between USD250-400 4) SSD (yes a SSD, i need it for installing my core programs in it) 5) 4x 4GB DDR3 RAMs 6) compatible motherboard 7) new power supply 8) oh yes i need windows 7. vista sucks balls.
things like monitor, mice, keyboard, speakers are covered.
budget's around USD700~1200. i want something that will last me for at least 4-5 years, but not too much of an overkill.

When you say recording in HD, you just mean recording gameplay from video games right? Nothing really beyond that? Like FRAPs? What resolution is your monitor? Regardless you're going to go over $1,000 I'm pretty sure since you need an operating system, you want such an expensive GPU, a SSD (you prefer 60GB or 120GB?), and a most likely overkill amount of RAM. Don't you also need a storage drive, or do you already have one?

over $1000? whoa shit. yep i need windows 7, the basic one will do. SSD 120GB. is 16GB RAM overkill, or will 8GB do? already have 1tb internal and 1tb external

Oh I just meant are you going to be doing anything beyond recording with FRAPs, I should have specified. I'm not entirely sure but I don't believe an i7 yields any significant advantages over an i5 when it comes to using FRAPs for recording, but I would definitely seek clarification from someone else with better knowledge on the matter.
First, do you live near a microcenter? If so, you can get your processor at a much cheaper price (save ~$30). Anyways, assuming newegg prices you'll probably be spending
$200 on the processor (i5 2500k), $110 motherboard, $60 PSU, $250 GPU (far, far less if you keep your current monitor), ~$160 SSD, $50 case, $40 for 8 GB of RAM, around $75 if you want 16GB which yes is overkill, $85 windows 7, which is ~$945 before buying a new monitor, also before taxes.
As it is you could buy a ~$100 graphics card and max shit out on ultra because your resolution is so low.
Oh and I forgot to mention, is your external HD USB 3.0? I assume not, just wondering.

New computer needed.
What is your budget? About 1000 euros. It's pretty flexible, but Id rather not go that much over it
What is your resolution? Need a new monitor as well (hooray for using an iMac for 3 years, QQ), which will preferably be 1920x1080. If you've got good recommendations, please tell :I
What are you using it for? Mostly gaming, with some photoshop mixed in. That isnt very important though, so Id rather not pay that much more for increased photoshopability.
What is your upgrade cycle? About 2 years.
When do you plan on building it? Next couple of weeks
Do you plan on overclocking? Im not quite sure how all this overclocking business works. Id like to do it, but how much more will I have to pay in mobo, cooling and all that jazz if I decide to up the processor by a GHz or so?
Do you need an Operating System? Ye, Win7
Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire? Nope
Where are you buying your parts from? Only Finnish store that Ive found that can compete in prices is Jimms (searchfield is in the top left if you want to use that), and I can get my parts from there without paying shipping cause its fairly close. I am however open to ordering online as well, if it really gets cheaper that way.
Other stuff I want to add a second monitor once I get a bit more monies, but this shouldnt affect the build that much as far as I know? Im a bit of a questionmark when it comes to the OCing as well, unfortunately

oh, like video editing and all that? not too much i guess, thought i may need to edit some 1080p HD videos at times. that's what i heard too, many people have been telling me to get an i5 instead.
nope, i don't. singapore doesn't have one of those, i think :S
price list sounds reasonable.
does my monitor resolution affect my actual game performance and recording?
also, since my monitor has a resolution of 1440x900, does that mean i can't record in 1080p? :o

The picture won't be as pretty with the lower resolution? For example a $100 GPU may be able to run SC2 on ultra for all GPU related settings at 1440x900, but only run low on 1920x1080.
And I'm not sure, but I would assume not, since your monitor isn't high definition, and I believe FRAPs merely records what's happening on screen.
I'm no expert with FRAPs, but form what I recall from using it is that it takes an obscenely large amount of space to record in high def, I'm talking about gigabytes worth for like 2-3 minutes of recording time... for this type of stuff though, like I mentioned earlier, you might want to wait for another person to give you more detailed advice that isn't just speculating.

Sum:
681,56 € That's more like it... Note that I was too lazy to link them as I'm kind of in a hurry right now but you should be able to use the search function etc. Those are just examples but you know where I'd order from.
Why in the world is the DVD-drive in the first build 57 euros? Holy balls, even if it's a burner (who needs a burner nowadays), that sounds absurdly expensive. Shouldn't it be like 18 euros?

EDIT: ohhh I see it looks to be formatted a little funny to me, that's for the PSU
|
a little funny yeah its just a straight copypaste =P Can be cryptic.

What's a good quality PSU that's at least 600 watts? I'm building a pretty powerful PC and the graphics card is a monster (radeon 6950 2gb) so I need a good PSU.

A Radeon HD6950 uses roughly 170w under load, a single 6950 configuration can easily be run on a ~500w power supply. Good power supplies include but not limited to Seasonic S12II, XFX Core Edition , Antec High Current Gamer, Antec Neo Eco, Antec Earthwatts, and Corsair TXv2. Most of these are basically identical to one another.

Now it'd help if you gave your location or I'll recommend super flower to an american. (Note skyr not recommending super flower, that's because it's not available in NA)

What about this? (the 600W) I like the modular cable design, is this a reliable brand?
