I want to build a pretty decent gaming computer (Intel based) on $600-$700 from scratch. I would like to know the following:
- What's a good processor?
- Is the EVGA nForce 750i a good mobo?
- Qua specs, which one's better, Radeon HD4870 or EVGA Geforce 9800GT?
- Which parts should I invest more money?

Thanks a lot guys!
 
for ur price a good processor would be an E8200 or maybe an E7300 which is cheaper. The 4870 is much better than the 9800GT but is also a lot more expensive. For ur budget I would get the 9800GT which is good and cheap. The 750i is a pretty good mobo.
 
Would it be a wise decision to invest another $40 for Q8200?
And yeah I think I would get the 9800GT.

How about cooling and power supply, which ones would be good?
oh yeah I also need a case lol any good ones?
 
Awesome! and the Antec 900 isn't that expensive either :D and it's pretty badass lol
You think I need a heat sink as well?
 
Nope I don't do that kind of stuff lol, so that's about it right? 4GB of RAM and 500GB 7200rpm HDD would do right?

Oh wait OS lol I completely forgot. Wait for win7?
