I need a pc that will be used to play games (occasional photo editing)
I prefer Intel and ATI, but if there's AMD cpu that would top intel for a lower price, then im okay with that. Also need a monitor (21" or 22" 720p or full hd).
I may go up to $750 or so, if there's a good deal.
If there's something better and cheaper than newegg.com, then i would buy from them.
Also, im planing on upgrading sometime, so, i need space. I prefer cases with no fancy LED's, just good airflow.
proximon, using the monitor you've suggested brings my build to total of 744.92$
Razzor007, mission accomplished (kinda) that is what I can recommend.
throw the themal paste in and you have 750$.
if you have some balls, you can try and overclock the cpu or try to unlock the disabled cores
