Ok so I asked you guys what to get and did some research mainly went with affordable /w great reviews heres what I have come up with.

Gigabyte MA790x ud4p board

Phenom triple core 710 2.6

OCZ 4g ddr2 1066 ram

500 WD 32mb HD

SCEPTRE X20WG-NagaII Black 20.1" 2ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor

Corsaire 400w PSU

I am stuck though on a grfx card looking for something around $150 idk.

Also going to OC my pcu going to need a better fan than the stock. Recomendations?

well if your going for a modest overclock like 2.8 or so the stock cooler should be fine but i would suggest aftermarket cooling solutions like this,

Xigmatek S1283 Rifle Cooler $36.99 (10.00 MIR)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835233003

HIS Hightech H485FN1GP Radeon HD 4850 1GB $149.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814161275

And if you can stretch it i would suggest this.

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 1GB $189.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102801

Yeah man, that cooler should fit absolutely fine given your case isn't like a micro atx or something tiny, and actually those HIS card's aren't bad at all, but i personally would go for the sapphire myself.

hmm well it should do pretty good im gunna estimate like 35-40 fps on high
heres what i would suggest mate,

GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H + Phenom II X3 720 $229.98
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Comb [...] mbo.165024

thats one dollar difference for a better motherboard and a beastly triple core, and with that mobo you can unlock the 4th core if its stable that is.

how long are you willing to wait, a month will get you a 4750 which is as powerful as the 4850 but as cheap as a 4830.
