"Ok this is a Forum where you can share your Gaming PC builds"
No, thats not what the forum is for, there is a sticky in this forum for that.

But, you can ask for help with future builds, which is what the main point of your thread appears to be.

looks similar to mine, I cut costs by using the phenom II x 4 965 black edition, I also got the UD7 mobo with the cash I saved and the HAF X case.

Ditch the 6 core cpu and get a phenom II 955, then swap out the 5830 for a 5850 OR you could also save some more by buying the gtx 460 which is arguably faster than the 5830 while only costing $220 for the 1gb version. You could also notch your psu down a bit for more savings.

dont get the 4850. Get the GTX460 or the HD 5870. All in all, there is no point in getting a new DX10 card right now.

the sticky is meant for pics and ratings of those pics.
dont get the 4850GazaAli
Only reason I agree with this is because you could get a 5750 or 4770 that don't get as hot, and would save money while performing about the same. btw, 4850's a DX10.1 card :P

I'd change it to a 460 and an SLI mobo. (assuming you live in the US)

Good, The black edition is much easier to overclock with unlocked multipliers and faster because it doesn't share its L3 cache 6 ways.

Good choices but I would:

CPU: 1090T (simply because it will "last" the longest)

MOTHERBOARD: Fine - UD5 is the standard ATX size

RAM: - I would go for KIngston or Crucial here - 8GB here.

HDD: Another one, and RAID it, ready for fat 20GB games.

PSU: Enermax or Seasonic

CASE: Your choice

GPU: 5870
