Ok, so I am planning on building a new machine and I'm pretty sure I have all my components correct. I am going to be using a 37" LCD HDTV as my monitor possibly a 42" depending on cost. I have a HDD so that is not an issue, my main concern is that this build i am looking at will play WoW, CoD4/5, Left for dead and future blizzard games at high res and fps. I would like to try crysis but i know not to get my hopes up considering my budget of roughly 700.00 before shipping.

What I have so far is:

I have Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bit havent decided which to run...opinions welcome on all aspects of this build. Eventually i will add a blu ray drive but not concerned with that as of yet.

Thanks!!!

Here would be my suggestions. The case you picked out has only 1 fan. I picked a better case that had a psu combo. I picked a much better mobo. Only downfall w/ this mobo, is you won't be able to sli/crossfire. Also picked much better RAM.

Case/psu combo - 85

Mobo - 105

That PSU is not very good quality, and it does not have the required connectors for your video card. If you like the case, get it minus the PSU and add a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 500W.
