Okay well this current pc is decent okay ,but not enough to satisfy my needs ,so I've set aside about $700 to build a new fancy pc. I'm absolutely horrible when it comes to choosing parts ,so I was hoping a few of you could help. As for assembling I've already gotten that down.I'm not trying to build something that is a power house type thing. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to price too. I know that this isn't enough information ,but if you need anything else then I'll just add it up here.Also I'll probably be playing games running on Source, MW2, BF2, GTA4. I live in Virgina(US) since the rules say you need to add where you live.
[B]Few things I'd like in it[/b]
[list]
[*]Decent sized hard drive around 500GB
[*] Would be nice if you could recommend a gaming keyboard/mouse
[*] HDMI? (Dunno if desktops have those since i plan to plug it in to my 42" tv)
[/list]

Total is ~$683 before mail in rebates.
Instead get the Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB. Same price as that WD above after you use the promo code.

OP, you might want to get the Powercolor one if you want to be a little bit risky and save $10.

Thanks that's great. I'll use what the other two posters recommend. I might get a different Cd drive though. If anybody else has any parts that would be great too.

There is no risk.
Also it comes with DiRT 2
At the rate gaming is going now how long do you think this would last me until I had to upgrade?
About 2 years, maximum 4.
The next thing youd upgrade would be the graphics card, and thats pretty much whenever you want. The rest of the computer will last a while.
