If you have an old hard drive lying around I would use it, it will save you a lot of money because hard drive prices are through the roof at the moment.

Heres a decent build which would run all of those games on ultra high no problem, especially at 1680x1050.

Intel Core i3-2100
ASRock H61M/U3S3
8GB Corsair XMS3 1333Mhz
Powercolor HD 6870 1GB
Corsair CX-500
Fractal Design Core 1000
Samsung DVD Burner
Coolermaster Blade Master 120mm Fan

Total - $499.92 before shipping and rebates.

That leaves you $100 to pick up a hard drive, just get the cheapest one you can at the moment to be honest.


The i3-2100/HD 6870 combo is very good value and should max all of those games no problem. 500W is also plenty of power for it and Corsair have some nice PSU's so no worries there. The reason I put in 8GB of RAM is because it's cheap. As for the fan, that case has a single 120mm but strangely it's in the front so I'd put that extra one as a rear exhaust. It's also worth noting that the motherboard has USB 3.0, another nice feature.
