You mean a 5770, right? I sure hope you do.

Aside from that it looks like a pretty solid build.

[Minus;]

Sounds good. Just ordered my laptop for college. Its pretty good.
HP Dm4t
-Intel core i5 2.6ghz
-6gb ram
-1gb vram
-500 gb hd
ETC. I'm going to love it.

Really thats pretty good for 800...if i were to build a desktop right now, it would be just for net, and file storage, and be underpowered. Ha i'd be on a budget. It'd probably be like the intel desktop boards, with the integrated atom processor.
But ya dun pretty well.

What're you using for cooling?

[Indigo]

What're you using for cooling?

Antec Three comes with
120mm Fans
    1 x 120mm rear fan
    2 x 120mm TriCool blue LED front fans

140mm Fans
    TwoCool 140mm blue LED fan

Processor has a fan with a heatsink

GPU has a cooler with a fan and thermal design... I didn't really think about cooling, will that work or will I need an additional fan? The  case is supposedly a decent size so I might be able to fit another fan or two in there. Or maybe replace another fan/the heatsink if it's cheap

stock cpu heatsinks and fans suck balls

stock cpu heatsinks and fans suck balls

so which/how many fans/heatsink should I get?

[LCK]

any sort of aftermarket heatsink will provide better results than the stock heatsink
although i believe AMD's stock heatsinks are better than intel's they're still all loud as fuck

i've got a coolermaster hyper 212+ which was only like $20, and it dropped my temps by about 5C. and this is a pretty cheap heatsink.

do you know if it works well for long gaming sessions? like 2-4 hours? 4 is probably the longest I'd play a game.

the stock heatsinks will suffice and shouldn't cause any damage whatsoever unless you're intending on some intense overclocking, honestly
but they still tend to run hotter and be loud as fuck
plus they don't look cool, and that's what really matters.

I'd have headphones that block most if not all the sound and I won't be doing any crazy 4.0GHz quad-core overclocking. Probably wouldn't be showing off my pc, and if I did I'd probably upgrade it a bit before I did 

I should be set then?

Not always true. I ran my Core 2 Duo that came at 2.33 Ghz at 3.40 Ghz for just over two years with the stock cooling. Never had any issues with stability.

they can, on the other hand I have a metal-plastic-metal thick fuckin case with 2 average fans, and it cools my modestly OC'd i7 and nVidia GTS 250 without problem.

I'd go with Corsair's liquid cooling setup (it's only $50-60), that way it's sensually silent, minimal maintenance, and you can OC at will.

you need a power supply, Corsair 500w would be my recommendation. DO NOT BUY A GENERIC OR CHEAP PSU.
