Hi, im a noob who needs to build a good gaming computer for around $700. I dont know much about computers so i really need help.
my goal is to get a computer capable of playing upcoming games like Empire: Total War, and other graphically intensive games like Crysis or Oblivion. I dont need a new monitor or a keyboard or a mouse or stuff like that, im basically looking for 4 or 5 main components
Motherboard: no idea what i need here
Ram: again, no idea what specifically i need but i guess it should be 2 gigs
Processor: no idea what i need but i would like a core 2 duo, one thats good but not outrageously expensive. around $200 would be ideal
video card: i have a slight idea what i want because i heard that the Nvidia 9800 GTX is a good bang for my buck at around $200
Power Supply: this may not be necessary i dont know, my power supply is old and noisy but maybe it doesnt have enough juice to run these components. if you suggest a power supply, the cheaper the better because i know some of them can get expensive
That is bacically all i need i think, please any and all suggestions are welcome
