Well originally had in mind to build an expensive gaming computer but now i need something cheap but still good budget i dont want to go over 700. Ill be playing basic games like CS:S, TF2, COD4, BF2, I want a computer that can run these games no problem im sure these games dont need extreme requirements. I need everything OS, DVD dirve. as for a case it might be cheaper to find one with a PS. I basicly want a case with a window and blue LED lights. All help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I have attempted builds but i cant manage to keep it under my budget. Thanks in Advance

Antec Sonata 500W is an antec sonata III case and antec earthwatts 500 watt power supply

what my build doesn't have is an optical drive but yours didn't either so i figure you had an extra one.

3870=9600gt<8800gt=9800gt<4850<4870

According to his little chart, he's saying that the HD4870 pwns all. What about the GTX 280? or am I buying into that a little early :p

3870=9600gt means an 3870 is roughly equal to a 9600gt.
9600gt<8800gt means an 9600gt is beaten by a 8800gt.
using the the transitive property, an 8800gt beats an 3870.

here is the chart a little more filled out.

HD3870=9600gt<8800gt=9800gt<8800gts(g92)<9800gtx=HD4850=9800gtx+<gtx260<HD4870<gtx280
