$900 USD build - Hardware & Software

Hello, I have $900 USD. I want to use the computer for gaming. I want to play games like BFBC2, TF2, GTAIV and other new games on high settings. I have a monitor mouse and keyboard already. I've been hearing alot about Sandy Bridge so include that please and thank you.

Assuming that the Intel Core i5-2500k + It's P67 motherboard costs a total of $350... RAM: GeIL 4GB ($46) GPU: PowerColor Radeon 6870 ($229) HDD: Samsung F3 500GB ($55) (Don't worry, you can upgrade later Optical: ASUS 24x Sata DVD Burner ($20) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3067296&SID=[/url] PSU: SeaSonic S12II 620w ($75) Case: Cooler CM690 II Advanced ($80) So, wait for sandy bridge and get the stuff I linked

I can make you one as soon as SB releases, just bump the thread then

The SB is available now. I have a $50 gift card for Amazon too

There's not a lot of combo deals right now, but here [media]http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/2219/cartd.png[/media] Links: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151188[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231396[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157217[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.585954[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.585737[/url] Overclock to 4.4, Crossfire later, etc. [editline]8th January 2011[/editline] Actually with that gift card you can probably grab 4GB of RAM, DVD Burner, or HDD from Amazon which if you want, should free you enough room on Newegg for a GTX 570
