Hello Guys, I'm planning on making myself a new gaming for $1700. This is gonna be my first build I right now I’m lost. If you guys could help me pick out the parts to build my computer that would be awesome. There are a couple of things that I need on there.

-No Keyboard & Mouse
-21-22 inch screen
-A wireless card
-I don’t use a lot of space a 150 gigs HDD would be more than enough for me. I was thinking maybe using a solid state drive.
-Every things need to work here as well as in Europe (Belgium) when I go back there for college.

Hope you guys can help =)
 
wow! only 150G !? srlsy if this will be a gaming computer, get yourself at least half a terabyte.
i think amd is pretty hot right now for gaming, but i'm not sure which cpu are good...
 
thats why i was considering solid state. from what ive heard...there even faster than the 500g HDD but if its not so i think a 500g one would work aswell i mean its not as if you can have to much space

and laptop no thanks i want to be able to upgrade my computer in the future. im gonna buy one of those netbooks that does everything i need for school.

Id spend the extra few bucks for a caviar black:

Case, side mounted hard drives are the way to go as you get more room for graphics cards:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119196

This PSU will be more than enough:

Or if you dont mind red, its $10 cheaper:
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10006382&prodlist=celebros

Use what you saved there to get two of these:

These displays are 1920x1080 vs 1680x1050:

Personally id spend the extra $10 for corsair:

bomberboysk,
I actually like the other case since i have the razer deathadder and the razer lycosta (keyboard & mouse) which both shine of blue light, so ill stick to the antec 900. Howerever i will change to that powersupply. I really dont care about the red powersupply so that will just save me money. I dont really know how to compare those two GFX cards but it seems to me that they are better if so this is what i will build right now. Ima stick with droogies RAM because i really see no reason not to. Ima gonna switch to your HDD because $10 for 250gigs + and increase from 8MB to 32MB cache seems like worth it for me.

my mistake, i meant to link a 700w PSU. the one bomber posted looks good enough. also i didn't even realize the HDD only had an 8mb cache, i just kinda threw that in there before i posted everything.

i'd still take the antec 900 over the case he posted, but either one will be fine. also, if he wants to do crossfire, he'll have to switch mobo's. although i think the gtx 285 will more than suit his needs. now that i think about though, it's probably more cost efficient to crossfire a couple of 4890's.

P6T6 Does triple crossfire, crossfire, triple sli, and sli;)

@OP, i linked a few other cases in my last post you can check out that offer better airflow than the nine hundred. (The Xclio cases in particular are very nice and solid cases). I prefer corsair to OCZ Just because of the bad experiences ive had with their customer support and DDR3, but thats just my personal experiences with them.

ah ok, i thought it only did SLI. i don't think it matters whether he gets OCZ or corsair, i just picked the OCZ because they're cheaper.

i like the

and its cheaper as well

you have to tell me why though i should switch to that one otherwise i see no reason to.

1. Side mounted hard drives, easier to install/remove hard drives, leaves more room for graphics cards, and makes it easier to connect power connectors for hard drives.

2. Cheaper

3. Slightly better cable management

4. Black interior

5. 4 USB Ports on top vs 3 USB ports, ESATA Port vs none, and on/off switch for the led's on the front fan.
