Hi there, im new to pc builds and could use a techies opinion. I have these components and need help to complete my build for a moderate gaming machine for my son, he play starwars one republic along with war craft and counter strike from steam.

So far we have..

1TB hard drive with Win7 64bit

4g ddr3 ram

sapphire hd5670 gddr5

i have a dell dimension 5000 pc tower case to put it all in.

so i need a power supply ,motherboard and cpu. Iv seen some cheap Q6600 for socket 775 but would this be sufficient? to be blunt if someone could just pick out a cpu and mother board and a power supply that would be good for the games listed id be very very grateful. OR maybe some better advice in what to do of course. Thanks !!!

What is the overall budget for this? And your location?

Basically, start here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353572-31-build-upgrade-advice

Also, don't be too married to that old Dell case. $50 in a new one will yield vastly better results.
