hello all :D

After much thought, i have FINALLY made up my mind to make a gaming rig! I have a total of $650 to spend. I have no spare parts whatsoever, just the windows vista OS. So i will be starting from a clean slate. Itd be great if you guys can recommend me the parts that i should buy :) I am going to play these games on a 17 inch LCD monitor by the way; i heard the size of the screen matters when buying video cards

Ive always wanted to play the latest computer games with everything maxed out! now maybe finally i will be able to. I cant wait till play some games like portal, fallout3 and bioshock with everything on high!

This will be my first time, so pleasee try to keep it easy as possible. I dont think i can handle wire conversion and all that complicated stuff
:confused:

Anyways, the help will be much appreciated :P


Lil Edit~~ I dont need a fancy case, its the inside that counts right?

Case - Cheap and will serve a purpose efficiently
P43 Motherboard - Supports Intels latest
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 - Fast for gaming
4GB Crucial DDR2 RAM - Plenty o' Ram (2GB kit, I had it as x2)
Antec 550W PSU - Decent PSU, good brand
DVD+RW - What more do you need
Radeon HD4850 - Fasstttttttttttt
250GB SATA II HDD - Big enough, and have space to expand

Total cost inc Ship = $650.00


You'll probably want to add some fans, but they're like $2.99 or so for the cheap ones. CPU heatsink/fan is fine.
