[QUOTE=GunskiMod;19632933]I would buy a cheap-ish CPU and spend the money on a really good GFX card (or two), unless you want to play Crysis and GTA.[/QUOTE] Fun fact: GTA IV is more CPU intensive than it is GPU. Also getting a cheap CPU will hinder your GPUs full abilities.
[QUOTE=Macho Madness;19637152]no, its that graphics card that ButtsexV2 posted ......I want it...[/QUOTE] The 2 5870 will give a slightly better performance or else I would have post a build with that 5970 (Was going to do that when I started building the list.)
[QUOTE=Macho Madness;19636759]Im going to be using it for gaming....and it would be nice if you guys could reccomend stuff that's in stock because I dont like wating 4 or 5 months for a part[/QUOTE] Calm yourself.

You can buy the parts without them being prebuilt you know?
[QUOTE=Episode;19637722]You can buy the parts without them being prebuilt you know?[/QUOTE] That makes no sense. Yes you can buy parts and build them yourself.
[QUOTE=Episode;19637722]You can buy the parts without them being prebuilt you know?[/QUOTE] That's what we're doing here in PC Building. Except we use Newegg.com because it's the best place to get PC parts.
Forgot to ask, do you need an O/S?

Damn, so you do need it. Alright, let me remake my build. [editline]03:52AM[/editline] [url]http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=17074768[/url] [editline]03:53AM[/editline] Had to sacrifice the SSD
[QUOTE=GunskiMod;19632933]I would buy a cheap-ish CPU and spend the money on a really good GFX card (or two), unless you want to play Crysis and GTA.[/QUOTE] Get out. . .
[QUOTE=n00bEmpty;19637855]Forgot to ask, do you need an O/S?[/QUOTE] It's OS, not O/S.

[QUOTE=Pilotclan9404;19643483]No its not... Get 6 gb...[/QUOTE] Yes it is. And 6 GB would actually decrease performance in this setup. You want dual channel RAM.

He needs Dual Channel RAM. And get a WD Black, it'll increase his speeds. And why pick one of the new i5's? It's a dual core with a higher stocked clock speeds with integrated graphics, that's why it's expensive. The i5 750 would be a much better bang for your buck.
Where do you get that money you lucky bitch ha :) Go for a 5970 with a low i7 or save money with an i5, then in the future you can get a mobo that supports 4core gpu and get 2x5970 and destroy everything
