So like, Title said it. I'm planning on spending $800 @ MAX Price... but here are my current specs, I'll just post pictures of CPU-Z Images below in the spoiler.

SPOILER: Click to view

And this is what I'm thinking i might upgrade to.

If u have any other suggestions or if somethings wrong, It would be great that you post :p

i'd probs get a fast phenom quad, no need for x6 for games, sell the 5770, and buy a 5850 or something.

edit: oh and you could get away with 2 x 2GB DIMMs, 4GB is heaps for gaming etc.

cpu= good.
rest= bad

Ram
Corsair CMT4GX3M2A2000C8 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3
$165

Mobo
gabyte GA-890XA-UD3 Motherboard
$169
Psu
Silverstone Strider Plus 750W ST75F-P
$154

The cpu you picked is good. Its a black so its unlocked and can easily be overclocked

You dont need 8gig of ram.
You will benefit more with the higher clocked lowerlatency ram that i said

Haters dont really hate you, they hate themselves because you're a reflection of what they wish to be.

Nah man, if you want to go for the 1100T, knock yourself out. It has higher stock clocks so it will be slightly faster.

Unlocked multi will be good if you ever decide to overclock.
