This build is just lacking a storage drive...no idea how much you want or need. If it's a multi monitor set up then look at the 6950 2GB down below.

http://budgetcomputershelp.wordpress.com/ Read this, then switch out i5 2400 for i5 2500k and then change the MB to Asrock Extreme3 Gen3. Your going to have no problems running games. Add your cooler too.

SSD included!

So Why_Me that looks an awful lot like a familiar build

Reply to aznshinobi

I don't need much storage atm I can upgrade that later. I basically want a comp that can run Diablo 3, Wow and SC2 at max settings with no problems at all high Frame rate. Poker really no requirements for that. I checked out your ideas around 990 with a few warranty's. Any others want to chime in and give some opinions greatly appreciate it as I will be buying today or tomorrow.

I got question considering have never overclocked is it worth buying? I hear its not hard and all, but there are big risks.

Reply to GregMc24

Yes it is, it's not really that risky but it is super easy. People exaggerate the negatives but generally it's positives. The SB chips are so easy to overclock it's worth buying just to have if you ever do specially since the performance gains are immense.
