Hello,
I Want To Buy A New PC.
My Configuration Is
Motherboard :Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3
Processor :Intel Core i5 660
Ram :Transcend 2GB DDR3
Monitor :Samsung 22" P2250
HDD :Samsung 500GB
Now I need to know that, is there necessary to use a graphics card & a power supply. I decide to buy a casing about $35-$40. what type of casing i need. its urgent.
 
Make an attempt to get a quality PSU. Something that matches the quality of your other parts or at least a mid-range PSU.
Some Coolermaster PSUs are OK, some are very bad. Corsairs are great but expensive. You might be able to find a good price on a Antec, FSP or OCZ 400W ~ 450W that has enough power for a HD 5770 and not en-danger your high end CPU and motherboard.
 
If you buy a power supply, dipankar and WR2 are right for those choices. For your case, there's actually a review on the best 500watt PSU tom did a few weeks back.

But man some are not close to your budget, the CM Silent Pro M500 is your best bet 😛 But even newegg doesn't sell it anymore, they do sell the 600watt and higher vers. But, you could also try corsair PSUs 450watt or 500watts...

i want to know, what i have to buy for my pc. i can able to buy them after 2 or three month.

help me . i want the fixed suggetion please.
 
P55-USB3 has a good onboard 7.1 High Definition Audio system. And you can always add a sound card later.
CrossfireX is supported so you can use 2 ATI video cards in Crossfire. Or 2 Nvidia cards in single gpu mode for multi-monitor support.
 
It will not make a difference in adding sound card on that board i think and you don't need it.
Am from bangladesh too. I think if you are willing to buy something more you can buy another 4650 for crossefire costs 5000 tk ( 75 dollar)[i would not do that] or buying a 1gb 4670 instead. Its ddr3 and costs 7000 tk( 100 dollar). Or you can consider getting a 512mb GDDR5 240 gt for about 8000 tk(about 115 dollar). Both 4670 and 240 gt need's less power. So psu would not be a trouble. But if the psu is not atleast 400 watt try getting one.
And guys AMD processor is not available in our country. But you can import them and u will need the motherboard imported too.
