Computer Case: ThermalTake Level 10GT Awesome case easy to clean so many great features with 5 hotswap hd bays. $199.99
Motherboard: ASUS M4a87td evo am3 sata 6gb usb 3.0 $102.99
Video Card: EVGA SuperClocked GTX 560 2gb 256bit Gddr5 $244.99
Also comes with batman game right now
Power Supply: KingWin Lazer LZ-1000 1000w psu $149.99 ( i own this and i love this power supply and have not had one problem with it yet and has disconnect cords for everything so if your not using some you can easy take them out.
AMD Phenom II x6 1100t 3.3ghz 6core 3.7ghz with turbo $189.99
Patriot Viper Xtreme 12gb DDR3 2000 $139.99
Lite-on Blu-Ray Burner with blu-ray 3d feature $79.99
Hard Drive:: ADATA 256gb Sata III Great read and write speeds and $299.99 I like to have a bigger ssd drive like this if i am going to put a few games specially main ones i will be playing to help keep everything running fast. So far a few good reviews on it compared to others that have faster speeds usually cause to much problems and dont last long.
If anything i would atleast recommend 128gb ssd so you have some room to put a couple games on it atleast but the price on that 256gb is pretty good.
I think all this together is $1406
Now with a sweet monitor and windows 7 pro 64bit
Samsung 27" LCD 1ms HDMI $299.99 I have this monitor and no way can i ever go back to anything smaller this thing is sweet.
Windows 7 64bit Pro $139.99
Total for everything $1847.90 with a total of $348 in savings or $400 if you count the free batman game the newest one.
Which is not bad at all The one i want to build is about $2800 but i think ill wait another year or two for my build prices will drop then and i am sure these prices will drop to when i built my system i kept my old one and used it tell i got all the stuff i wanted and they went on sale.
My best advice all these builds people are saying are all really good and if i was you i would just go to newegg.com and make a wish list and just keep a eye on stuff that goes on sale and buy from there.
Some of this stuff you can even go smaller with like ram you could even go to 8gb instead of 12gb save about $50 or so there. and like stated you would not really need any more i think the max usage i ever got mine to was 4.5gb on my ram or go with a cheaper monitor and that too all up to the person really
keyboard i got a logitech g19 and i love that beast but its like $150+ for it and i waited and got it for $115 shipped when it went on sale
But i built a rig for my bud not to long ago and he can run anything i can at max settings and it was about $600-800 with monitor keyboard speakers everything. But i do a lot more then just video game so and you would not really need a 6 core parse quad would do great. Intel rocks to it just sucks it cost a shit load usually for a really great setup. When i went with amd i never looked back ha.
Power supply you could probably get away with a 600-800 watt i prefered this 1000w because incase i need to upgrade anything that needs more power i am not worried and also right now i am runing 8 harddrives 3 burners i had 2 video cards in there at one time and a 125w cpu i think it is or a 140 cant remember but i have never had any problems with it.
But well anyways there is my say ha off to bed i go now hard times right now my mother just passed away a couple days ago and its been a hard thing to deal with just figured i would check on hq to take my mind of things right now. Take care guys chat again. _________________________________________________________ The one the only Scarface!!

Well if your looking for a laptop any Alienware will be your best bet if your willing to spend upwards of 1200 dollars. But for a cheaper but good laptop. The Dell Studio 1558 is what I use and I can play minecraft perfectly Skyrim works pretty good and Its a decent price. It can handle lots of music, 2 games at most at a time. I don`t know much about actual CPU units only laptops, I think they work best. _________________________________________________________ The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.

My work ended up getting me a Compaq QOSMIO QUAD CORE laptop.. It's a beast.. I recommend it for anyone.. Battery life is nice, the HD 1080p widescreen is amazing, and 3d movies and games come up great!
I use it mostly for programming, photoshop, encoding videos, etc etc.. loads of stuff and its super fast.. It boots from zero to desktop in 7-10 seconds depending what i have.. Solid State drives, 8 GB ram and WIN 7 64 bit.
