$639 total..

i didnt put any motherboard or fans on the list.. cause i knew id need help pickin those out.. i know i could choose a lesser processor and overclock it, doesnt matter to me.. id like an SLI or CrossFire gpu/mobo, just in case i pick up a second gpu later down the road.. but whatever..

im assuming itll come out to around $800 with all the pieces (not including monitor, mouse, keyboard).. and id like that to be knocked down a bit.. my intention is to be able to play somethin like call of duty 4 with the settings up pretty high.. but iono how low i can go with the gpu/cpu while keeping that goal still in sight.. any help would be appreciated

ok so would you prefer

this one
that one
or this one?

or a different/better one that i failed to list..

thanks for the response btw...

how about this processor?.. would i still be able to run games at a high level with this? if so, can i get an even slower one and still run those games?

sorry for all the questions, i have no idea what im doin

depending on mobo compatibility, try this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102715)

the same performance of the card that you listed, but cheaper. or something like this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102719)...

Go with chuckm's advice.
Do NOT use PSU that came with the case . It will probably fail and take other parts with it.

I don't think a 380 will handle the video card, I could be wrong though. Of the other video cards, go with the MSI, it has 512 Mb of ram , the other two are only 256. You went from and Intel CPU to AMD, stick with Intel. Look at the 21XX series which can OC to around 3 GHz, you can always upgrade later.The motherboards linked above are all under $100.
I would swap the ram for Crucial Ballistix cost less after rebate and it has better timings and overclocks great;

Do you need an OS?

that mobo really scares me... can you not go for something like an m2n-sli mobo + 5000+be combo (as an example...)

ok thats awesome.. how powerful (maybe weak is a better term) would this setup be? like what FPS would i be able to get out of a high-end game and with what settings?.. im asking because if it seems too weak for what i want im willing to pay more.. once again, thanks for the responses

If you wait a Little you can get an E8200, same chip just lower multiplier. or, if you go AMD, get a stripped down 7-series board. My personal policy is never skimp on the Mobo or the PSU. the other parts are mostly workable. If you live near a MicroCenter, you can get a Samsung DVD burner for $25, a Coolermaster CM690 for $20, pay the tax but save the cost of shipping. you could use OEM cooling and still OC a little bit if you're really trying to save money. prolly shave $30+ off your build using these suggestions.

I agree on the Corsair though. either that or a Seasonic.
