Good gaming computer 500-699 price range?

[SiicKx]

Hello, what would be a good gaming computer in the 500-699 price range? On newegg I see computers that have intel i5's, and 100 dollar graphics cards.

I'm running an intel pentium dual core with 4 gibs of DDr2 ram and an nvidia 9800 gt, so surely that price range is sufficient enough to get me a good upgrade that will last for 5+ years.

I would like to be able to play WoW, battlefield 3, CoD black ops, on max settings if that's not shooting too high. Maybe something like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229436

I've never used AMD before so i don't know how they equate to Intel, but I would like the equivelant of a 3.4 ghz I5

You can probably find machine with better GPU with $600

AMD CPU is slower than i5

With $700, I think this will be with best performance.

Or alternative consider this. If you will not overclock, and will have spare cash to upgrade PSU and GPU in 1 - 2 years.

However, I suggest you consider build one yourself, which you can choose good quality component.

What wattage of power supply would i need to run AMD FX-8350 Vishera, 8 GB DDR3, my nvidia 9800, and an ASUS M5A99x motherboard?

If I can do it with a 500 watt powersupply then I'm only looking at $470 dollars to fully upgrade my system, 500 dollars if i take this 750w PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153174

Are you intend to purchase FX-8350 with ASUS M5A99x?

I would suggest you get intel i5 if you intend to spend $340 on CPU + mobo
