Forgot you wanted an I5-2400, add $61. I also forgot the case. $40-$45 if you can do without that Xclio which is $65 and probably no better thana $40 case.
So, I just outran your budget by $51...
I'm not sure the 4 core 2400 is worth $61 more than a 2 core 2120 but your call.

 

[FinneousPJ]

I agree for your budget the i3 ist best, coupled with a HD6800 series.

 

[kormega82]

Ok I took some ideas from the guys. And changed my cpu to the i3 2120 and I'm gonna use

soso suggest motherboard the asus p8h61

delroys psu the corsair cx430 v2 builder series .. is 430w enough power?

that makes my budget to a sub total of 687

But I'm also thinking about replacing my 6870 sappire with this and I can save 40 more bucks

Sappire Radeon 6770

opinions please... I plan to put order in by end of day and thanks a lot guys.

I might be inclined to save on the CPU and get a Sandy Bridge Pentium rather than skimp on the GPU.
