Majority (if not all) x58 boards are tripple channel RAM, try for a 6gb kit.
Also, where are you buying from? $215 for a 5770 seems a bit much... Gigabyte one from MSY is $189 at last check

For G2420HD, a 5770 should do you fine (hell, I have that screen and I'm planning on getting one).

MSY price for 6gb is between 220 and 250

But what I should really be asking is where are you intending to buy from? This can change prices quite alot

I don't really know, I've being checking out prices online. But it would be good to buy all from one retailer instead of all the individual ones offering specials because of shipping.

Could I just go into some computer store and try to get them to price match a bit?

Where would you recommend I go?
I live on the Mornington Peninsula down towards Frankston.

Thanks for your help man smile.gif

If its for gaming, go the i5 750 and an 1156 mobo (and not MSI), get a 5850 (or 5870) and a better power supply

Ditch the MSI board, thats only going to cause you troubles.

As oohms said, if its purely for gaming, go 1156 i5 and beef up that gfx card to a 5850.

If you primarilly use it for other processor intensive tasks (photoshop, CAD, etc) then the I7/5770 would prob be a quicker box.

Good luck!

Your lack of qualitative evidence and non-commital wording makes me sad face sad.gif

Give an opinion, give some reasoning behind it, apart from "I don't know about [$brand|$product], I'm not a fan of it", since at the moment, ATI's cards provide a better price/performance ratio.

Acer's build quality also leaves quite a bit to be desired,

Anyone who decides not to choose ATI "simply because its ATI" needs a swift kick to the head.

A typo.
I believe they meant commuter.
In which case it is someone who, according to Google is "a passenger train that is ridden primarily by passengers who travel regularly from one place to another "
