OK well I'm looking at building a new rig that will do decent gaming (No Crysis maxed out or anything). I'm talking Orange Box mainly. I was wondering what would be the best set up for an Intel based build INCLUDING Vista.

I NEED EVERYTHING! Including DVD Drive and case.

Thanks very much for your time (SORRY)

Thanks again,

~B~

I like the MoBo and Graphics card but what about maybe losing the CPU cooler cause I won't be OCing and maybe a smaller HD if possible. Then would it be possible to get say the E8400 or Q6600?

y the e4500? the e2180 is cheaper and should overclock to about the same.

I like beastys Idea. except for some minor changes with the video card, go with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130333

0 Overclocking... Don't want to risk a new system. Need to perfect my O/Cing on older junkier systems without risking frying the new one.

Try this:


-$50 in rebates = $654.92
I do realize this has no OS or monitor (if you meant that by EVERYTHING) but seriously..come on just torrent it. I mean there is really nothing left to skimp on...except RAM but really, 4 gigs at that price...well you decide but this is pretty darn nice.

best bang for buck!!! With your budget you wont be able to get a Q6600 or E8400. You will have to save up a bit more. Save up 100 more bucks (750$) and you can build a much better rig.
