Help build gaming pc!

I have everything (screen, kb etc) but the desktop.

Budget is 400-500$. I want to be able to play most if not all games at extremely high settings.

thanks

$500? Double it and you'll get what you want (well, more or less).

Get the latest P4 and a 7300gt and 512Mb of ram and you should be fine:P.

Hold on a second, OP...

>all games >extremely high settings Willing to stretch your budget? C_Rule

Do you need and OS? I just remembered about that, as I was putting this together.

1. Motherboard and CPU Combo

2. Video Card

3. RAM and PSU Combo

4. HDD and Case Combo

5. Disc Drive

You don't want a green drive, they are too slow and that PSU doesn't inspire confidence.

Thx a lot and yea I dont need the OS I forgot to put that up in the op.

Are you going with my build? If so, swap the HDD and Case I chose for this; the HDD in this combo is faster than the one in the combo I chose earlier. Also, swap the RAM and PSU combo for this. The PSU is from a more reliable brand.

Well, I suggested some better alternatives to the OP, in the post above yours.

I don't really see the problem with green drives. Mine is like 77MBps which is 15MBps faster than my Caviar.C_Rule

Willing to put extra hundreds? Cos with ur limited budget, u can probably only play games on medium settings.

400-500 budget and "extremely high settings" shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence. You cannot be a cheapskate and expect so much. Either raise your "budget" accordingly or lower your expectations on the settings... you cant have both

[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] That's slow. JigglyWiggly_

And the 1TB is faster than both the 500GB and the Western Digital Green drives.
