Im completely new to building computers and I am trying to build an affordable gaming computer. I am missing some things because I don't know what to choose and some of the stuff I have picked needs some help.

Instead of finding the best and most affordable, I was going for parts that all fit together and that seemed pretty good. Any suggestions on better parts for cheaper, parts that I could use instead, or ANYTHING you have to say.

Thanks for all your help if you comment advise.

Not sure what to do about a dvd burner/driver.. whats the difference? Blue Ray could be cool just for playing

My budget... Not cheap crap, but I can't go over the top for things, hence the reason everything is from under $100- $200

I Play War, Wow, CoD, and some more FPS's
 
that ram is ddr3 and the mobo and cpu only support ddr2 and i would recommend looking at the newegg email promotions link thats at the top. they have some really good deals like a 1gig of the same video card for 10 bucks more
 
Thanks. Ill have to check that out.

Im actually kind of lost. Would you ( or anyone else) happen to have a build/link to a good set up that im looking for? A mid tower is cool, but if there is some possible way I can get a micro, I would be stoked.

Thanks again.
 
I would recommend getting a 4770 over a gtx250 if you are looking for a cheaper, but still good build.
And you need DDR2, not DDR3 RAM
 
uhm there are many build already in the first few pages on this forum. i wouldnt get a 4770 since you can get the better 4850 or even a 4870 for about the same price.
 
How about this?

For a cpu, would it be better to have a a Core 2 Duo with 3.00 or a Core 2 Quad with 2.66?

What GeForce video card can handle pretty much every game at a good price? hopefully fitting my MoBo?

dont get that graphics card. either get a gts 250 or a gtx 260. that 9800gt is way to expensive for the performance it'll give
 
So this GDDR3 Video card won't conflict with the DDR2 motherboard?

Thanks for all this help :D Its making it easier to decide on parts and quicken my learning of all this stuff.

Sorry that I keep posting things one after another, but I keep finding so much. What do you think about this Graphics card compared to the Promotional one you showed me?

Heres the new Build. Ive pretty much changed everything except the Motherboard and I switched from a quad core 2.5ghz to a Dual core 2.8 ghz because of the huge price difference... is that an okay CPU switch?
