I have a 19 inch samsung syncmaster 931b
I already have windows 7 OS and hard drives
I want to play mainly FPS games such as call of duty modern warfare 3, Battlefield 3 and bad company 2 on mid to high graphics at 50 Frames
Is this a good build for a budget gaming PC?
Also I only want to use newegg
edit: I also have a mouse and keyboard already.

Bump to help my mate here.
Lower the PSU to a 650W. Won't need any higher unless you plan on SLI/CFX. Change the case to a HAF 922 and get a 560TI instead. And drop the 8GB for a 4GB if you intend to play games only.
That is incredibly bad for that budget, with that amount of money you can get an i5 2500k and a 560ti.

Surely you can spend like 10 dollars more to get an incredibly big difference in preformance.
I've bumped my budget to $1300 at max and GPU Wise I would like to stay nvidia, Mobo I would like to keep it asrock and PSU corsair, Also case is staying I'm not going to change that, I would love to stay AMD but if I can get an Intel and still stay under my $1300 budget and have better performance than an AMD please help me pick an Intel CPU
Also forgot to mention I plan on overclocking and running small LAN or public servers sometimes so 8 gigs of 1600 ram seems good, And dont change the keyboard or monitor please, My friend Tudd fudders has this keyboard and I love it also the monitor I found out another friend of mine has one and I just love how perfectly sized it is along with resolution.

a hyper 212 evo is better due to its better cooling surface. I've heard some pretty bad shit about the 6100. and make sure the 560 is TI [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127594[/url]
Oh god don't buy a bulldozer chip.
I've ordered a GTX 550 ti is that is that good enough for most new games or should I buy a 560? Sorry for intruding on someone else's thread.

Well if you've ordered it then it doesn't really matter. I wouldn't have gone with the 550 ti to be honest. The 6850 can be bought for nearly the same price as the 550 ti and the 6850 is a lot faster than it.
Alright thanks mate.
Seriously though, don't go AMD. Go for a 2500k and you'll save yourself a decent amount of money.
Just because Bulldozer is new and has 8 cores (more like 3.2 cores) it doesn't make it super great.
If you're willing to spend seven hundred dollars (Or 1300 now for some reason) I'd still suggest going with the 2500k, you'll thank us in the long run. Hell, go for an i7 since you're such a rich big man.
AAANNNNDD, I'm not saying AMD is complete poop, because I'm not nearly as rich as you guys I've come up with my own build that is just shy of three hundred dollars and it uses a phenom. But if you want performance, go with Intel.
Ok, And the reason why I've bumped my budget is because more than likely my grandma will give me about 700 dollars, my other about 200 and I can save the rest myself.
Don't fucking buy the fm1 cpu, just change to an 1155 asrock motherboard if you insist on one.

basically the same price as before, just add whatever extras you want
you can change the ram to your ripjaws if you insist on those, i just already had the xms3's in the cart
I wouldn't suggest spending money on a blackwidow ultimate, its only worth the price when its in the regular edition, $130 for that piece of junk is far too much. Even a 6gv2 would be a better choice.
I found this semi prebuild on newegg + GPU, And yea I'm gettin a diff keyboard most likely the logitech g510, its 1000 bucks minus the monitor so I think I'm good ( I know I said board has to be asrock but I like asus too )

lolgitech
don't get that junk keyboard
rather invest in an rk9k, 6gv2 or model S
the vengeance heatspreaders are silly, and you will be paying a bit more for less overall too, the harddrive is worse, then power supply doesn't seem to be modular, 4gB less ram and a p67 motherboard (which isn't an issue really, but you'd still be forced to always use a gpu). It is quite a nice discount tho, if you want to sacrifice some quality to save 100 bucks then fine, it will still work.
Alright I have finished it, It's basically what naos posted earlier and its $1019 + shipping for a grand total of $1043

Shit can change in two months. Make sure you go over your parts again before you buy, as different deals might become available.
