$750 Decent Gaming PC

First time builder - Looking to upgrade from my current PC for some mild gaming.


APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the week BUDGET RANGE: Max $750

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Speakers

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com

PARTS PREFERENCES: AMD and Radeon, I'm not too picky though

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920 x 1080

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I've been reading throughout these forums for a couple of weeks and decided to see if I've got the system somewhat right. I'm just trying to upgrade my PC for some gaming (World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, etc) and upgrade into Windows 7. Trying to stay under $750 is the main goal while fitting my monitor's native resolution. I'm in Texas so I prefer Newegg for the tax free benefit

Total including shipping comes out to around $751 which is the max I'm able to do at the current time. I could probably save some cash with some combo deals but this is kind of a rough draft since items keep going out of stock so quickly.

Thanks for any input.

Got it, thanks for the tip!

Question about the video card I've chosen - I was wondering if I could save some money by going with the 512mb instead of the 1gb 4870. Do you think there'd be a huge difference while running 1920x1080?
