Preferred Website(s) for Parts: whichever has the best deal not a big deal to me


Country of Origin: united states


Parts Preferences: by brand or type well dont know i heard amd is better but not picky what ever will get the job done


Overclocking: yes if it will help me get more power for the money

Additional Comments: would like to have a decent looking case though but if it cant be done i dont want to sacrifice power and performance for a case, i want to be able to play games liek call of duty crisis fallout 3 and new vegas ,oblivion, splinter cell etc etc without having to turn everything down where the games look like crap so hopefulyl you guys can figure somethign out for me thanks for the help in advace

6850 is overkill for 1024*768
get a 5770

1024x768 ? Is that the native resolution of your minitor ? Then that's what you play at. Here are a few items.... the processor should be at least $10 cheaper so keep your eyes open. The PSU you chose is fine.. that's where the alternative mobo and ram come in.. to save a little money.
