Well, first and foremost, what are you wanting to do with this computer gaming wise (beyond just use it Big%20Smile), anything specific: resolution, games, etc.? Also, you mentioned not changing the price much, could you define what your upper limit is for budget?

resolution isn't really a big factor for me. Games would include LoL, MW2, Black Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 2,Ghost warrior, and All Points Bulletin.

The cap would have to be around $650ish

resolution may not be a big factor to you but it is to everything else, it decides how much gpu power you need.

so we can't tell you what gpu you need to run those games at max settings without knowing the native res of the monitor you gonna be gaming at.

mk well my desktop res is at 1152x864, and I almost always play games at or near the resolution.

also I have completely redone this build except the quad core.

So in just to be clear you are asking for a config that will max out games in that res (1152x864)?
