Need tips for a new computer

Actuallly E7400 and 7500 is not much of a difference.
But 7500 is 2.93ghz, 7400 is 2.8ghz, u can get 7500 if u want also4gb for $40? or 2gb for $40? If it is 4gb for $40 it is cheap
I think the shop quoted too high for the graphics card....or he wrote wrongly? there is one priced at $309 if i am not wrong
MSI 4870 1gb cost only $369, the HIS one cost around $319, the one he quoted was $390!

The next time you go there ask them about the price of the mainboard and cpu combination, also note what is the motherboard given, cos some they would give u a micro atx motherboard
Power supply i think just get a andyson 550 watts will be enough, if you want to play safe u can get the 650 watts @ $135
If u plan to buy the next time u visit, must check the price again, sometimes the price will drop, and if they quote you based on this price u might over pay
What is the shop name?

Sorry cannot reply faster, router spoil XD
For 1k you can get a decent quad-core rig, I wouldn't go for dual-core now, I if I were you.
But for $600, you can get a pretty good dual-core rig, depends on parts availability.
And try and re-use everything you have, casing etc. Unless your computer is a cardboard box with everything inside
Would you prefer AMD or Intel?
AMD right now I'd go for Phenom II 940 3.0 GHz
ASUS M2N68-AM Plus + Phenom II 940 = $401
$40 for 4GB? More like 2GB bro!
4GB Dual-channel Team Elite DDR2-800 = $82 (Kingston ValueRAM is $2 cheaper XD)
Seagate 32MB Cache 500GB HDD = $88
GPU: It really depends on what resolution you play at. No use getting a 4870 to play at 1440x900 right?
I heard that TSMC managed to produce more 40nm chips, so you should see more shops stocking the 4770.
So, Its either the HD4770, HD4830 or the HD4850. I'd say 4770 if you can find one, since they can out perform the 4850 in some situations. Plus, you don't need such a badass PSU and they can overclock further.
4770: $189
4830: $159
4850: $179
PSU: Andyson 80PLUS PSUs. More efficient, more savings for you. The 650W PSU should do fine. $135
For a grand total of: $895 (4770)
$885(4850)
$865 (4830)
Assuming you don't need a new casing, monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.
