I used to have a really nice gaming setup, but sold it to new a new motorcycle, but due to medical reasons I can no longer ride. So now I'd like to build another setup, but since I haven't been keeping up with the tech I'm completely lost.

Basically I need a desktop with somewhat close to these specs:

Ram: 4 to 6 gigs (ddr3 or ddr2)

CPU: Defenitly has to be a quad core

HDD: about 250 to 320 gigs should be okay

Mobo: whatevers

Graphics Card: I am completely lost, I used to have a 5830 and it maxed out BFBC2. I'd like something same speed or faster

Monitor: 19" to 23" ( if need be I could buy one on craigslist, so if budget is tight, then skip on it)

I'm putting my budget at around $700...Links to newegg are prefered.

thanks guys and gals

Well, if it's anything to go by, here are the Aussie prices for the 1155 CPUs and motherboards.
