My first build since athlon xp 2400+

[edgaraslt]

Approximate Purchase Date: this week


Budget Range: 600$ here were I live


System Usage from Most to Least Important: Movies, gaming (Physx), surfing and etc.


Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS


Country of Origin: Lithuania (EU)


Overclocking: Maybe


SLI or Crossfire: Maybe


Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050, 1920x1080

This is what I'm planning to get(US Dollar and my currency rate 1$:2,5LT):

Case
DVDRW
PSU
HDD
CPU
RAM
Mainboard

I'm not still sure about video card. These are my options:
5770 msi
5770 XFX
5770 asus
GTS450 gigabyte
5770 gigabyte
MSI gts450

As I know 5770 does not support physx, but in some games it runs well with physx on. I looked lot's of benchmarks but none of them were with physx on.

Hmm think peeps are reluctant to help due to lack of knowledge of hardware prices in Lithuania but

first up, don't get a Chieftec PSU when there is a decent Corsair about the same price:

if you can swing the price difference, get this video card:
