What parts would I need to make my own computer?

I'm considering making my own gaming computer. Just needing to know what hardware I need in order to accomplish this task. If possible, some URLs to the parts would be great. So I can see what I am looking for. Thanks guys!

Let's say I don't have that big of a budget. I've been going to newegg and checking out prices of stuff.

I'd normally agree that the 960T would be the better choice because of it's lower cost, but the 970 has a $15 off promo code on right now at Newegg putting it at $145, which is about $20 more than the 960T. Considering that it has a 600MHz frequency boost and that it will likely hit a higher overclock than the 960T, I think that it wouldn't be a bad idea to go for the 975 instead of the 960T in this case.

How much is all of that?

By the way, that's good, but I would drop the 570 to a 6870, then with the money saved, I would get a quad i5 (i5 2300?).

you need some IBM seeds, water, good potting soil and lots of light. then ofc you need to feed it well and care for it. then maybe, MAYBE if you did a good enough job you will have a top of the line pc next year sometime around late spring.. but if you did bad you might get a mac.

I take it you mean 570 not 560. You said you had a low budget, this build doesn't look low budget. It looks good though, but if you can go i5 2500k and 560ti it might be better. (not sure what the price difference would be).

EDIT: GS quotes messed up as usual.

That list will cost me roughly $689. Which isn't cheap, but I've also been looking at other stuff too. But my plan is to just slowly get this computer together, cause I don't get paid that much at the moment. So I'll start by buying the cheaper stuff first like the case and motherbord and junk. From that list, the video card is the most expensive.

I just found what I think might be a better motherboard than the one I had on the list. A Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2 AM3+ nVidia GeForce 7025/nForce 630a chipset Micro ATX AMD Motherboard.
