What is your suggestion this build. Also, recommend [b]both[/b] a nVidia and ATI card.
So you need a CPU, a GPU, and anything else? and whats your budget? Are you salvaging a hard drive or anything like that?
[b]Edit:[/b]
Also, what are you going to be doing with the computer. I'm just getting all the basics covered before people try spam asking this stuff.
Gaming rig. I have a 500GB Harddrive.
This my current rig.
AMD Athlon 7750 Black Edition 2.71 GHZ DualCore
ECS GeForce6100PM-M2
2 GB DDR RAM
XFX GeForce 9600 GSO 768 VRAM
WD 160 HardDrive (Partitioned 20GB)
WD 500 HardDrive
HP DVD Writer.
I want something that will be able to play at Grand Theft Auto 4. I can run it now, but I get anywhere between 20-30 FPS and 15-30 while the street lights come on or cars starts to build up.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong but the most cost effective CPU for gaming would be the i5-750 right? [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115215&cm_re=i5_750-_-19-115-215-_-Product[/url]
as for the GPU for nvidia i'd go with [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130562[/url] EVGA 460 (fermi) and it comes with free just cause 2 if you don't have it already and it has free shipping till 8/31
[b]Edit:[/b]
Each of those are 200 dollars so if thats all you need along with what you currently have it will put your grand total to about 900 dollars
Why would you want both a nVidia recommendation and an ATi one?

Probably so he can look up benchmarks for the cards and make his decision based off of that.
Why the fuck do you buy a 750W PSU?
Go with 500-550W like Antec TruePower New. No need to spend that much for this component.

I have the same power supply for much less, i built my computer when i wasn't as part savvy as i am now, the good part about it is that that is one thing i can salvage when i do build another computer.
You could also get a more budget case and buy yourself a better motherboard.
Recommendation?
I'd recommend this one: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066&cm_re=antec_300-_-11-129-066-_-Product[/url]
What about this for a nVidia.
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130562[/url]
and this for an ATI?
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447[/url]
and this for a CPU
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115215[/url]
The GTX 460 is a good card, I'd go for the 5850 on the ATI side though. And the i5-750 is pretty much the best cpu for gaming right now.

Phenom X4 is a better deal, all the i5 has on it is that the i5 uses a bit less power and overclocks better.
Also, don't get a barebone, picking all the parts is cheaper.
Another thing, get the CM690 II case and save the $50. There's not much of a difference except the 690 II doesn't have a built-in fan controller or vented side. You can buy a window for it though, only $25.
As for the video card, get the GTX470.

It's oem, so you have to buy a heatsink. Plus you should really get a Phenom 955 for gaming.
EDIT:
Get this combo

Thanks, have a heart!
Would I be able to play Just Cause 2 with that GFX card?
Is this a good power supply?
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341022[/url]
No. Anything with the word 'Fatal1ty" on it is generally shit. This is much better for exactly the same price.

Thank you.
Unless you're getting a better video card like the GTX460 sometime soon, the PSU is overkill. Not to mention you should get a GTX460 or better if you want to play Just Cause 2.

How's this combo?
Also.

I think the 980 GTX will work fine. I can play GTA4 on my 9600 GSO (&68cram) and 2.71 Dual Core Processor.=/ Granted my avarge FPS is about 15-30. But hey, it plays. I could record a video if you want.
