Overhauling My System

[DarkKnight1713]

Hello fellow technology enthusiasts. My current system is a home built rig, but unfortunately it's starting to show it's age. I'm not looking to build a brand new rig. I just want to upgrade some of the major parts. So, here we go with the details...

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within a month. BUDGET RANGE: US $600-$800 (prefer to stay close to $600)

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Internet Use, Office Applications

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Network Card (onboard is fine), Sound Card (5.1+ onboard is fine), Monitor, DVD drives

I'd like to use my current case still (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021)

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com, tigerdirect.com, other well known and reputable sites

PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel CPU, Nvidia video card (looking at GeForce GTX series), Windows Vista Home is fine.

OVERCLOCKING: No current plans. SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No current plans. Possibly in the future.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: No preference

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I want to be able to run new games with settings at max, or as close as possible. I havn't kept up on PC hardware like I used to so my knowledge is limited at this point. Specifically I want to run games like World of Warcraft and modern FPS titles smoothly. Also, I would like to avoid upgrading power supplies as well.

You can do much better for yourself by going with an AMD build at that price point, and doing a little overclocking.

AMD Phenom II X3 720BE AND Gigabyte 790X MB -220
Sunbeam CCTF CPU cooler -40
OCZ 1066 4GB -63 323

Corsair 650TX -95
Antec 300 -55
2XSapphire 4850 1GB -220
You can of course cut this down to one to start, then add the second later... but at this price it's a far better deal than any GTX single card.

WD Caviar Black 640GB -75
