Why have you set specific prices for each component? Just give us a total budget and we will give you the best gaming PC possible.

The budget you have set is $510 for the above components. Do you already have the Hard drive, optical drive, operating system, and cpu cooler under control?

I don't understand why you made categories instead of one total budget.

By the way - why DDR3 for under $70 - why not whatever memory for that price? I you get a slightly older board, you'd probably be better off getting DDR2.

On another note - you may want to read around here to figure out those items - Toms has a best video cards for the money, and has categories for how much to spend. There are plenty of reviews on various CPUs and I'm sure you can figure out your price range.

I hear DDR2's are going up in expense than DDR3's... Read it on someone else's post.

I think DDR3 is being pushed heavily now that it's more "mainstream" - prices aren't as rock bottom as they had been, but you can still find 4GB for $25.
