Well good luck, but if you want a somewhat decent gaming computer, I'd say go for a budget around 800-1000.

Fluttershy wrote I would just build a Desktop with a legit graphics card. Unless you buy that and the graphics card. That could work too.

What do you think about buying these parts (Except for the processor)

and then using this processor instead

Video Card (ASUS ENGTX560 DCII OC/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card)

and then having 8gb of ram

I think that would be a good setup, just be sure that everything is compatible.

ask generation also.

What do you guys think?

PS. Sorry for all the questions and things but I want to do this the right way and I'll use all the help I can get.

This is a response to the parts list above.

What do I think? Not really a fan of the parts you picked.

Let's start with the PSU - It's low quality junk that cost more than some of the tier 1 brands out there. Grab a 550w XFX unit if you have no plans on cross-firing the 6850, 650w unit if you do. The 700w unit you listed doesn't actually live up to the misleading stickers.

The new line of AMD's FX chips are a complete flop. They lose to the some of the AM3 CPU's, and get hammered by SB. If you want a more detailed review, click [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

I'd advise grabbing a 2500k / a board that has PCIE gen 3 so it'll be future-proofed for upcoming video cards. This [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

Re-use your current DVD drive and ditch the sound card. Those low end sound cards usually have terrible quality / drivers.

looks pretty good, how much did it all cost you?

yeah bro good luck it looks like you have everything

-PRO- wrote looks pretty good, how much did it all cost you?

I haven't bought it yet because I want to make sure I get the rights parts before I spend my money on it but if I did by those parts it would be $790 which isn't bad

I'm not exactly sure what cross firing means but is it better for a gaming pc to be able to do that?

Could You Tell Me Your Budget?
