Hi guys,
Im planning to get a new desktop PC, and i have following things to follow if you guys can guide me in the right direction here:-

ASUS crosshair V formula
AMD Phenom-II 1090T
XFX ATI RAdeon HD 6870
500 GB Hard Drive
4GB RAM
Corsair 750 PSU
Cool master casing

Pls tell me if this is an adequate combination...

What kind of build is it? Gaming? Video Editing? Photo Editing? CS5/CS5.5? 3D Creation? Browsing? Home Theater? Noisy PC? Quiet PC? Others?

wait a month and get a zambezi processor.
otherwise 750 is overkill. 600 would handle that fine. maybe 500 could.
if your plan is mostly gaming the phenom II x4s get the same gaming performance as same speed X6s do. there are only a couple games that can use 6 cores and none of them use them well.

since its an am3+ mobo get 1866MHz ram so that you dont want to replace good ram when you upgrade to bulldozer. its just a few dollars more.

going from a 500GB hard drive to a 1TB hard drive is a mere $10-15 more
