$700 Gaming PC

I've been looking on newegg for a good prebuilt PC but there aren't any that I'd be comfortable with in my price range so I figure I'll build one. I'm a total newbie to building PC's too.

I'll be doing a lot of gaming with some friends, mostly Modern Warfare 2, and a good bit of video and photo editing.

I'm planning on buying within the next 1-2 weeks and I think the only part that I don't need is speakers.

I prefer to only buy from newegg but I could care less about the hardware being ATI or Nvidia, Intel or AMD.

I probably won't overclock because I want to make as little impact on the electric bill as possible and I know I won't use SLI or Crossfire.

As I said, I'd like the electric bill to stay the same/as low as I can get it and I think that's about everything. Thanks for any help.

Do some research (by "some" i mean loads) on building your own PC, learn about the risks and dangers, also what components are compatible with eachother, Otherwise you could be in a real mess when you've ordered incompatible parts or damage your parts when building your PC.

Like you said your a total newbie, I'm not trying to come across as being an a$$hole, just trying to save you $700.

Once you feel comfortable that you know what your doing and know the risks involved You'll be able to make a more educated decision about what components to buy.

I've looked into the compatibility thing unintentionally a while back from a guy on youtube whom I would consider a reliable source and I have also read the majority of the Homebuilt PC Buying Guide so I'm quite confident I'll have no issues with compatibility or anything but thanks nonetheless.
EDIT: Here's the link to the guy I was referring to in case you want to know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0rzt-Ymhgc

Nope tests have shown its the effective amps on the 12V rails that matter for the most part ^^ Hmm go with a $16x HD 5770 and think you could be $7xx country ^^

Would you mind posting your $900 build? That's the range I'm looking in, would be a nice starting point for me to tweak from.

Thanks!

How does this look for a build?

Also, I might use my old monitor, at least until I get a job so I can pay for one myself.

can i also get that? thnx

Okay, I'll go search for that article. And I quickly glanced at the combos but I'll go back and look in a little bit.
The F3 would be faster even though it only has a 16MB cache compared to the WD 32MB cache?

Stuff from Egg = $482 AR

Stuff from Tiger Direct = $170

$652 grand total

I'd like to thank everyone who's helped out but I've got to go for about an hour or so. I'll post an updated newegg shopping cart once I get back and look over the combo's and such.
