[Solved] Building a 'gaming' computer

Forum CPU & Components : CPUs [Solved] Building a 'gaming' computer

Hi, I'm fairly new here and looking to build a desktop that'll be able to support Guild Wars 2... Sadly, I'm a poor student and have a budget.The parts would also need to be accessible in Canada.Preferably Bestbuy.ca/Futureshop.ca

My budget is 350$ BEFORE TAX

I need a :
Case & Power Supply
Hard Drive
CPU
Motherboard
RAM (4GB)

Forget about the video card, for now I want a computer able to do simple tasks until I can collect the money to buy a decent one (suggestions are welcome though )

Here are the speculated requirements for reference:

Best answer

Coolermaster GX 750w (PSU)
ANTEC three-hundred versatile mini tower (CASE)
segate barracuda 500gb 7200RPM (Hard Drive)
AMD Phenom II X4 955 (CPU)
GigaByte 990FXA-D# (MOBO)
CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4GB DDR3 (RAM)
this build is pretty damn good and is sort of similar to my ghaming build (differernt CPU and RAM)
I have 16 gig of ram and an 8 core CPU but it is quite expensive and you said you are on a tight budget, so i picked out some cheap-bang-for-your-buck-PC-stuff... for you
i have also allowed for extreme upgrading space and compatability for the future when you "collect the money to buy a decent one"
you wont have to buy a whole new pc.
BTW you will need a Graphics card to get display on your monitor... or you could try and get a mobo with onboard graphics for the timebeing

EDIT: i only just noticed that i went well over your $350 budget, crap, sorry, forgive me
