Hey all, new to this forum.

I'm selling my PS3 and looking to build my own gaming PC. I'm looking to spend anywhere from $600-$750, as cheap as possible while still maximizing the PC capabilities.

I'm mainly going to be gaming on WoW, but would also dabble in other titles that come out, as well. Battlefield, etc.

Sorry that I seem to be a little new at this, because, well, I am. This will be my first build, and I know very little about PC specs, especially on the gaming end. My current PC ran at 4 FPS on WoW, so I'm obviously not tried in this field :P

If anyone can find the time to give me suggestions or a list of items needed for a build, I'd greatly appreciate it. Newegg or wherever works.

I look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully during/after the build, getting to know this forum a lot moving forward! Thanks in advance for your assistance fellas.
 
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/251595 -- Processor.. because the i7 and i5 are not all that different and will be fine for any games to be honest(Get better cooling, maybe water cooling if you want to overclock)
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/222056 -- Graphics card is decent will run pretty much all the games you want
Look for a socket 1156 motherboard capable of a decent PSU but most will be able to hande a PSU that will run your graphics card and CPU fine.
RAM obviously compatible with your mobo and 4GB+ will be perfect for gaming, not to expensive for 4GB DDR3 either
Disk Drives and Hard Drives are up to you depending on wether you wil be watching Blu ray/instaling allot of games, so thats your choice.

GET A GOOD SOUND CARD FOR FPS, :P sound card is important if you are going to be playing first person shooters allot.

then the case and other parts are pretty easy to choose and ebuyer will tell you all the specifications so its easy to work out whether it will work. :) Need any help just reply

Really you dont have to be an ass for starters, sound cards have nothing to do with FPS.... 2nd they guy said 600-750, and you have half the budget tied up in a CPU and a GPU, there are actually people who come here looking to us for help, no need to be a dick. :)

Now back on topic.... I'll throw somethign 2gether 2night, as im sure some others will do the same... its going to be tight for a build with that budget considering windows 7 is going to eat $100 right off the top.. Also are you going to need a monitor? What about a Keyboard or Mouse? Basically what do you already have, it helps up when we look at parts and where we can spend and save you money.

Sorry, completely forgot about this!

I have a keyboard and mouse, monitor, and speakers. Probably going to eventually upgrade all four, but not a pressing issue right now.

And thanks for your help, it's appreciated :)
 
Excluding SATA cables and thermal compound I looked around on newegg for you

Firstly OS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116754
Win 7 64 bit Home Premium

Secondly, I found a deal which would cover most of your basic needs (case, PSU, mobo, ram and cpu)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.563642

Thirdly HDD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136319

Finally GPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127521

Total after rebates and such $681.97

I'm sure someone wil come and completely destroy what I have said, but it was worth the 15 minutes play to see the price comparisons of USD to GBP
