new build

[a1eyedbandit]

ok guys, It's been awhile since you all helped with my last build, but it is time for another one. I have around 700 dollars set aside for a new build... complete new build, and I want a good gaming rig. Newegg.com all the way by the way. Can you all give me some ideas. I am gonna need a lot of storage as well.


Thanks a million guys, and have fun!

Yeh that´s a fine looking board, the NB hs looks great. That has a hd 4200 on board with dedicated 128 DDR3 side port.

Good advice if you don't need an OS.

ok guys do you think that this comp I am building will last... As in the gaming community? do you feel it will stand up for a few years.

Can you make any suggestions for an Intel build... I like them better... what would I need to swap? keeping that in mind, with no OS what enhancements can we make to the vid card and the case?? I wanna order in the AM thanks

You're pushing the envelope for your budget as it is. You can't touch performance like this from Intel for this price.

I've made some changes:
As requested, Removed OS, upgraded GPU and Case
