I'm sure you'll get high to ultra (depending on resolution) settings with a 700$ build.

Do you have a monitor, operating system, kb/mouse, printer and all those other peripherals? Its difficult to build a decent computer if you don't have at least these things. Also if you have an older HDD hold on to it for a while longer until prices of hard drives go back down to their normal levels.

of course not, haven't you noticed the prices have been inflated almost 100% in all cases? A 1 TB hdd could be found for $45 a few months back and now it costs around $120. , Because of the flood in thailand that wiped out production, the supply is very tight or so were told.

indeed, they shouldve had another factory at another location somewhere in china to ramp up production if something like this were to happen.
