$800 PC Build????

[BadMyst]

Hi,
I have $800 to finish my PC Build so far it has a 500W Cood Max Power Supply and a HP DVD Rom.
What parts should I get with the $800 to finish it.
I want to make it a Core i5 btw.




Thanks,

I'd start with returning or selling the Cool Max and getting a quality unit.

Heres the best i5 to get... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072&Tpk=2500k

...also for a video card, Id get an HD 6850-6900 series...theyre good for gaming..

Go with a sandy-bridge CPU. 2500k. I read (on this forum, I believe) the price difference between the 2500k and the 2600k is not worth the money. Probably the 6850 GPU, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD. That PSU is garbage, get yourself a 600W+ OCz or Thermaltake. Silverstone and Antec are great PSUs too. The case you want is up to you.

Ok so I'll remove the psu.
