Hello this is the build that I am thinking about using for my very first budget gaming computer (excited and nervous).
CPU: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0325874 Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz
MB: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0382961 M5A97 Socket AM3+ 970 ATX AMD
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948 SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 1GB
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017 ModXStream Pro 600W Modular
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231468 G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152181 Samsung by Seagate Spinpoint 500gb
DvD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136247 LG DVD Burner
Cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065 COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
Case: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0386580 Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Now the main thing that I want out of this build is to be able to play GW2, D3, and Skyrim maxed out. BF3 (and others) medium and up. Will all these parts work for that? and anyway to cut the fat to save some bucks? Thaanks!
