Hey everyone,

I am looking making a very good gaming computer. This computer is specifically for playing Starcraft II at Ultra settings with absolutely no problems. I will not be storing much of anything, so 500Gb HDD or less is fine. I have picked the below hardware for the guts of my new build. Basically, because of my rather limited knowledge in the area of solid gaming computers I wanted to check with the community about these components. I want to stay below 700 if I could. Also, could I cram all this into my COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Black/Silver Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case?

The new build:
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136795
MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130558
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125333
Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727
PWR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182072


This setup is about $690.

Thank you everyone who posts.
 
Hmm on AM3 you could really get far monstrous frames/$$ ratios as in my

$595AR config ($10 off promo code for PSU):

Remove case since u have one on hand and CM5 was ok with a HD 5870 (10.5-11") so as long as your GPU is shorter then that it's all good hehe Above HD 6950 is 10.2"
