I am trying to get myself some new parts (CPU+Graphics Card+PSU+RAM+Mother Board) and I want to know which are the best to get at that price. I can stretch the budget to about 500$. I already have a monitor which is a Flatron M1717S (max resolution at 1280x1024). I also have an HDD, a DVD burner, Windows 7, keyboard, case and mouse. Only those five things are needed, plus a cooler suitable for overclocking of course. I intend to use it for gaming mainly, as well as work in AutoCAD, ZBrush and some 3dsMax as well. I don't really care if it's AMD or Intel, nor if it's Radeon or GeForce, I just want above 25+ fps in current games at that resolution or even at less resolutions. I know I've written something similar to this before but I got no answers on it. Thanks.
$400 Build (only some parts)
