[benpascual]

Here are the specs of my final pc
Processor: AMD PHENOM II X4 940 (3.0GHZ)
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UDH
VIDCARD: PALIT HD 4870 1GB/256 BIT
PSU: CORSAIR 620W

Tell me if i have to change something. Thanks

I don't know the RAM, have a link? Everything else is fine.

If you get a second 4870 in the future, the PSU will not power it. You need a bit more for that, such as a 750W.

As far as I am concerned, even if you wish to crossfire the HD4870, your PSU should be enough to power them through at stock. If you wish to overclock, then like what Proximon said, you may wanna consider getting a larger PSU.

Here is the link for the ram: http://www.teamgroup.com.tw/teamgroup/en/productInfo.php
Unfortunately, I can't find any 700w to 750w Corsair here in my country.

Aside from Corsair, what brand can u suggest that is quite cheap but high in quality?

silverstone, PCP&C

 

[AKM880]

Antec?

 

[benpascual]

is my motherboard okay?

 

[Helloworld_98]

^ yes

 

[AKM880]

Your motherboard is fine.

Since the price for DDR3 is falling to a reasonable level, you may want to consider getting a Phenom II x4 945 or if you have the money to spend, go a step higher to 955.

If and only if you have extra cash, grab a GA-MA790XT-UD4P motherboard and 4 sticks of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM and Phenom II x4 955.

For PSU, you may want to consider Antec Earthwatts 750, Silverstone, CoolerMaster though I'd definitely give the thumbs up to Antec.
