Greetings for the entire comunity of Tom's hardware!

I would like to have opinions or experiences for the products that im going to buy in a few weeks from Amazon.

Mobo: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-K9A2-CF-F-DDR2-1066-Motherboard/dp/B000YEMKNW/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1D33VRA8WO5KO&colid=WHCMJ0ZLZC1Q

PSU: http://www.amazon.com/Cooling-S75QB-Silencer-power-Certified/dp/B000S34B9U/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=IWB2BD7LOJY5W&colid=WHCMJ0ZLZC1Q

I would like to spend more money but i cant, because a lot of problems with credit cards in my country i am limited to use bucks.

Another thing that i would like to know if should i need to buy another case...im using an Thermaltake soprano and im thinking to buy in my country an Thermaltake Amor + Mx Midtower Vh8000bws, i want to crossfire with another 4890 if works well!

Thank you and sorry for bad spelling, english is not my first languaje! 😀
 
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 <- Get this one. Its cheaper and better.
MB: I'm not sure what you're going to do here but I wouldn't cheap out on the MB and MSI isn't a great MB manufacture unless you buy low end like these.
GFX: Good choice or you can go down to 4870. The difference isn't big.
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W is a better choice for roughly the same price.

Why are you using Amazon? Why don't you use Newegg?
