-Motherboard
-Computer Memory
-Hard Drive
-Video Card
-Computer Case
-Computer Power Supply
-Gaming Monitor
and any thing else I would need? (got the list above from a website)

i'd build around i5 and a mid/high range nvidia card, but you know, exactly what you want to get depends on how long you want it to be good for, what you'll be doing apart from games and stuff

www.alienware.com

if you dont have enough money for that, just play with the hardware there and buy it in some random onlineshop

dude , for those prices u can get way better stuff , and if you like those cases you would love some of the mod cases they sell arround, and even then u will save a lot of money compared to alienware. And i dont agre the service is awesome : ( , as far as i know alienware is dell and i have had many issues with dell guarantees so i do say its shit in my experience.

one of my RAMs crashed, the dell guy came around the very next day, checked my computer, came back two days later and put the new RAMstick in.

Why would you buy 1336 platform? When sandy bridge is faster? ( except the hexacores that are far overpriced )
Parent

ecklav 4 Jul 2011, 19:27
dunno, that's what the shop adviced me to buy ?

If you can add things without pulling the price range up too much, you are welcome to tell me!

With sandy bridge, your price will drop
Get i5 2500k with a good motherboard look here http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/cat/834/socket-1155-moederborden.html enough choice.

haven't kept up with pc technology for about a year so i cant recommend anything, but heres some advice. know what you need and dont need, having an i7 might impress nerds but chances are you won't even notice the 0.01 seconds longer the phenom ii or even athlon ii takes , yet theres a 300-400 dollar difference. any money saved is money earned. unless you're a rich spoiled nerd, then you can buy best of everything :>

Was probably your RAM memory XD
Get 333 with a 6850 HD AMD.
Always have had AMD and will buy it.
