I'm trying to build a new box from the ground up. I also need a monitor and windows (or OS alternative). And I need to do it for roughly $600. So far I have bought:
Radeon HD 6850: $125
Corsair Ram 8gs: $20
IMicro Mid Tower Case (built in 400W PSU): $30
I'm thinking of picking up a Samsung LED for $160 for the 2 ms response and a Seagate 500gb HD for $50. So far my total should be $385. Leaves me pretty little room to work with for the Mobo and Processor. I'm looking to run games at a pretty high setting for a solid 2 years or so before I upgrade. Please help me pick a mobo+processor. So far, I think I want to run a AMD FX 4100... but it seems everyone hates it.
