The aim of the build is gaming and stuff, and also it has to be Nvidia/Intel as im really not comfortable getting the Ati/amd stuff.

Hope you can help! thanks!!

Hi. The total costs in that list is actually $850 not including the optical drive. Where will you be buying your parts? Will you need a monitor or OS?

I went with an i3 since it's a gaming rig and put the money into an SSD. The i5 3470 is a better CPU, though, so if you can afford it and the SSD, just pop it into the build below.

Hmmm never been a fan of ASRock motherboards but a 660ti instead of the 560 makes a hell of a good configuration! I'll get that. I'll go with the i5 3470 and gtx660ti.

thank you :
