Budget Gaming Computer $600-700

[buckbuck2]

I'm building a pc and need help picking parts for my price range. I have a monitor already so the price range does not include the monitor.

Thanks

So the core costs approximately 323 max. That leaves 377 for the CPU, mobo, and GPU.

GPU 120-210: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600007323%20600062521%20600007779&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=48|14-102-873^14-102-873-TS%2C14-161-338^14-161-338-TS%2C14-130-572^14-130-572-TS%2C14-130-562^14-130-562-Z01%2C14-127-510^14-127-510-TS

Mobo 99-110$: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=Property&N=100007625%20600007943&IsNodeId=1&Manufactory=1944%2C1312%2C1315%2C1314&PropertyCodeValue=709%3A46178%2C719%3A57559%2C719%3A57237%2C719%3A57483%2C719%3A55462%2C7968%3A74809%2C7968%3A55465%2C7968%3A49719%2C7968%3A56407%2C7968%3A57760&bop=And&CompareItemList=22|13-128-443^13-128-443-TS%2C13-128-444^13-128-444-TS%2C13-130-275^13-130-275-TS%2C13-131-647^13-131-647-TS

71-136$: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=Property&N=100007671%2050001028%20600005863&IsNodeId=1&Manufactory=1028&PropertyCodeValue=517%3A46439%2C3028%3A25342%2C3028%3A34507%2C515%3A33657%2C515%3A53958&bop=And&CompareItemList=343|19-103-726^19-103-726-TS%2C19-103-704^19-103-704-TS%2C19-103-871^19-103-871-TS%2C19-103-809^19-103-809-TS

Assuming the most expensive possible components, 779$. Assuming the least expensive, 551.

^+1
I would go with the HAF 922 Case
the samsung or a Seagate Barrcuda 7200.12
if you uped your budget a little you could get a blu ray combo from Samsung for $89 AUD
the 550watt psu
i'd go for g.skill ripjaws 4gb ddr3
even though i am a ATi fanboi id go with the nvidia EVGA 450 w/ the civ 5
the GA 880GA-UD3H will be prefect
for a little more i would get the AMD Phenom II x4 965 for just a little more you get 500mhz more and unlocked cores.

+1 on the build above as always batuchka with the build you should be buying

That looks good, my builds more core heavy (I like investing more there as those components last through CPU/GPU architecture changes, and I upgrade often), and has no combo deals.
