and what ram does each mobo support
Here's the current system im building
PowerSupply: OCZ GameXStream 600W PSU
Mobo:Will be decided according to CPU
RAM:Will be decided according to Mobo
Case:NZXT Guardian 921 RB Blue LED Case

If the i5 2400 is within your budget range, then that is the best, by far, of those you have listed, and is a great CPU if you have no intention of overclocking.
You can take a look at Anandtech CPU Benchmark for a general guideline of how the different CPUs perform.

i did check that out and idecided to stick to the i5-2400 now i need to know which mobo shud i get i checked out ASUS P8H61-M LE/USB3 Socket LGA1155 motherboard and H67 one but i think the difference between the 2 is the onboard graphics if so ill get the H61 and i still need to know what ram is supported by that mobo cos i got a fine 2 GB deal for 15 usd kingston 1 if so ill get 2 of em or 3 if the mobo supports triple channel
Edit:
just discovered that H61 dusn have 6GBs sata so i guess ill get the H67

^ Second that. P67 chipset >> H67/H61.@OP: RAM support usually is not an issue nowadays, most Kingston/Corsair/G.Skill/etc. chips are supported. 2GB is too little nowadays... get 4-8.
if the mobo supports 3 of it im getting 3 if not ill get 2 its a Kingston 2GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 v1.5
Ram:Kingston 2GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 v1.5 x 2

They would fit; however, it'd be nice if you could post your total budget and the prices for these parts... I'm sure we could offer a few suggestions on what can be improved. Seems quite good so far, though.
P.S. You won't see a difference between Z68 boards and P67 boards unless you're using SSD. And P67 boards are usually cheaper. So post your budget and we'll see.

Any good 1333 MHz RAM will do for gaming... it's just that you should try to get 8 GB instead, but 4 GB should be fine, too. I'd go with the P67 mobo and a 600W PSU... also, you can try and look for good deals, adding 17USD will allow you to get Core i5-2500K, maybe... And I'm not sure, but I think you can do better than GTX 460 (which is still good, though) for $210 - for that money, you can get GTX 560 Ti.
Unless, of course, your country has the same problem like mine: old hardware doesn't get cheaper fast and new one costs double the normal price...

the 560 ti costs alot more wont be able 2 get it
based on what u said this would be the build:
Ram:2xKingston 4GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 v1.5

if you have any last suggestions tell me if not could u confirm the build for me cos it drives me crazy when ppl abandon the post when i post a final build info

Fine, leave the 460... still a great card.. what resolution is that 20'' screen, by the way?Are you sure you can't upgrate to 8GB instead of 4? (2x 4GB)
Don't rush it. Better to spend a couple more days looking for advice than be sorry that you bought the wrong parts
ive been searching for parts for like 10 days as for the 8 gb they will cost 360 EGP 60 USD which is a very good deal might not find this for the same price l8er on so im getting 2x4 GB yeah as for the resolution its 1600x900
Good, get the 8GB... Your 1600x900 resolution means that there will be less stress on the graphics card than there would be with, say, 1920x1080. So even 460 will manage to play most of the games on medium-high settings.
About your case... there're only 3 fans there (front, rear and side). Could you try to find a case with more fans, like 4 or 5? Check Cooler Master and Antec, too...

Doesn't have to be more expensive... it's just that I think there're cheaper cases with more fans. How much is the Cooler Master Gladiator 600 in your country, for example? 5 fans, and it should be normally rather cheap...
EDIT: Lexa S looks like good cooling and all but one fans are included. How much? Also, find some reviews on it... I like the looks of it, would've swapped it for mine any day =)

the gladiator has only 2 fans included as for the lexa it has 4 included and 5 slots and it costs like 3.5 USDs more than the nzxt guardian 921 rb
I see... then go for Lexa S! Adding 2 fans to the Gladiator will probably cost you more than Lexa S.
Another question: what kind of ambient temperature do you have in your room? (Only in Celsius, please... I LOATHE Farenheit) If you live in a very hot country, you might need to get a better CPU cooler in case your ambient temps will prevent good CPU cooling...
How about i5-2500K? How much does it cost?
Also, are you planning to add another graphics card later (SLI)?

my country's weather is a lil bit hot but i got the air conditioner on most of the time well maybe ill get a cooler next summer cos weather is gonna be cold in the upcoming monthes wont really need a cooler besides next year it will cost less the 2500k costs 33.5 USDs more and im not planning to add another card
Edit:I was planing to run BF3 maxed out at what resolution can i do that when i have like 30-40 fps and btw i used to play crysis warhead on a 512 mb ram Geforce 6200 so im used to trash in games im currently playing ghost recon aw2 on mobile intel 4 series chipset family(trash gpu)
Another Edit:Just checked BF3 blog and some other famous system requirments site they both ve listed the gtx 460 as the minimum for max settings no aiming for crysis 3 maybe i would be able to run it on medium settings well who knows it ll be using DirectX12 maybe ill get another gpu on that time 2 years l8er i mean

Since you'll be running 1600x900, you'll manage to pull off better settings than they say, 'cause they're talking about 1920x1080, usually. If you can try and squeeze i5-2500k into your budget, that'd be great.
Since you're not planning to add another card, your motherboard is just fine.
I'm also used to trash in games... I was gaming on Intel 945GM 128MB for 3 years, lol. So I understand you... If you play around with settings, you can achieve a lot. Toggle V-Sunc, disable shadows... it'll be fine.

i would play BF3 at any res just to make it work on max settings my current monitor is 1 of those whitie monitors with 800x600 max res its was manufactured in the 90s yea and thnx for your help
Edit:i think i can get the 2500k ill jus use my old DVDDrive and old speakers its a creative SBS380 so u think i should go for it
well afterall i dont think i can cos i still need mouse and keyboard besides by the time the 2400 wouldnt be able to run games at high performance the 2500k will be cheap and not worth buying anyway
