I want to build a new computer, the budget is 900$(+10$ max).
I don't live in america but you can send me links from newegg for reference. But please do not suggest XFX for the gpu because I can't get that in my country, except XFX I can find every brand and component that newegg lists on they're website.
Thanks in advance guys.

PS: don't add a HDD to the system because I allready have one.

What are the uses of the pc? Will it be overclocked? How long will it be kept?

I took that off of a website... Can anyone let ME know if i could replace the ATI video card for the 8800GTS (G92) KO card...OR would the ATI be a better card. I am also building a BUDGET gaming PC and i am willing to spend aroun $800-$900.i found this and was wondering if i could replace it with an 8800GTS (G92) KO Edition....


Thanks

Yes you can use either Nvidia or ATI.

Can anyone give me a list of components please?
The system will be used very intensively in gaming:D, i will only oc the cpu but nothing too extreme.
Thanks for the help so far.

Townshiplax07's list is fine. If you prefer nvidia, get the GTS 512MB. Throw in an Xigmatek 1283 for cpu cooling. Up the cpu to E8200/8400. Maybe look at PC2-8500 2X2GB if they're about 80 bucks.

 

Oh, that would be about the same as evongugg's link. That pc would go to 3.6-ish ghz, considering the cheap ram.

Ok then that is the basis for the new system.
But i think i will go for a gainward 8800gt golden sample(custom cooler and a hefty overclock), as for the psu i can't find that one but what about a FSP blue storm 2 500?
And what can an e8200 oc to? Because i can't find the e8400 in stock.

FSP is a reliable psu brand. You can go with any good brands like Corsair, Antec, etc.

e8200 overclocks a bit less than e8400, but for a good price. It will need a bit more voltage. The best bang Wolfdale would be e7300 which isn't out for a while. It can do 4ghz with a bit more voltage than e8200.
