Hi its black Fridays and i am planning to build a new pc around 500 or 600$. My pc part knowledge is really out of date...like many years old so i need some help here thanks.
If you can, please recommend me some specs, brand, parts. Thanks alot appreciate it. This is actually my first time building one, my desktop before was built by a friend but he won't be avaliable =/.
-I need a motherboard (clueless on how to pick)
-Processor - quad core (i think a 2.4ghz sounds good)
-Graphics card (i game a little bit, 512mb is good, 1gb is good too if not expensive )
-Ram 4gb ddr3 if not 6/8gb ddr2
-1Tb hardrive
-Power Supply - i tihnk ppl said to match ratings according to your mother board and videocard.
-cd drive/ dvd - no need (have from old pc)
-and other minor accessories have from old pc. Thanks alot guys.
-This pc is around 500, 600 including case, (maybe 40-80$ case?)
-Anything else i need thats important?
I found this one on new egg which seems pretty good. Should i build my own or just buy this?

Not too many reviews on it but it seems pretty decent. Open to any suggestions and comments THANKS
I just read from another forum, if i was to play a game like COD4 MW2, can this 500, 600$ computer handle?
