PC Build

I come here for the same reason that most other people come here, to this thread. For help in building a pc. I'm trying to build a pc for gaming mostly. And my budget for it would be $900. Excpet the 900 will have to include the monitor as well.

So please help me choose some parts. If possible with an i7 processor.

Thanks in advance.
 
OK, a decent monitor is about $140

That would leave $760 for the rest,
I'd expect to spend about these amounts for decent components

MB $130
RAM, $65
HDD $75
GPU $150
PSU $70
Case $60
CD $20

That would leave about $190 for the processor,
i5-760 $175
i7-870 $285

If you were to go with an i5-760 you could make your budget with some decent components - If you really wanted an i7 you'd have to compromise the quality of the rest of the system to make your budget.
 
If you purchase it now, here is my list.

Intel Core i5-750 (i5 760 out of stock...)

Monitor - there is quite a few good monitor on sale. Grab one ASAP. Looking at spec, Hanns·G HH-241HPB suggested by jevery is good.
