So I'm looking to build a computer for gaming. Currently I'm looking at these parts.

[url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125309]Then this?[/url]
I'd say the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU but otherwise it's a pretty good build. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103871[/url] If possible, get that CPU. It's about 25 bucks more than the CPU listed in the OP but is pretty much your best bet. [editline]7th December 2010[/editline] The 6850 is a better choice for gaming at 1920x1080. Upgrade your CPU. [editline]7th December 2010[/editline] If you really cannot exceed your budget, you can downgrade the case.

K this is now what I'm thinking. I really can't go any higher in price. [media]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj95/WHO922/Compbuild.png?t=1291715524[/media]
The 6750 is basically a rebranded 5750. Don't listen to my rambles. :P

[QUOTE=TVC;26542453]The 6850 is basically a rebranded 5750, may aswell go with the older model as it would be cheaper.[/QUOTE] Uh, no, no it's not.
[QUOTE=Xybjj;26542588]Uh, no, no it's not.[/QUOTE] Sorry, I made a mistake, they rebranded them to the 6700 series. Fixed.

Hats off to you sir. I have no idea as to how to hunt for combos on newegg :saddowns:.
Ya that looks pretty good. Dropped price about $50. Is this going to be my best bet?
Yes that's as far as you can ever get, I guess. The GTX460 is equal to the 6850 in terms of performance and should do good at 1080p.
