I am looking to build a computer with my dad as my christmas present. We are tyring to build a gaming computer for under $1000.00. I would like the computer to be able to run games such as Call of Duty 5 and a few other mmorpgs (not very big games). A user on another site (cnet) recommended these items
mobo: asus p5q se plus, $104
cpu: core2duo e8300 3ghz, $165
ram: 2x2gb ocz ddr2-800 cl5, $43
video: sapphire radeon hd 4850, $156
hard drive: 500gb hitachi deskstar, $55
optical: lite-on 20x dvd burner, $30
case/power supply: antec sonata iii w/500w earthwatts, $117
I just wanted to run this with another site to get some more opinions, we already ahve the mouse/keyboard, monitor, and the operating system.
