Looking into building a Gaming computer. Could I have some suggestions and an estimated ballpark for price?

Q. I am looking into building a Gaming computer. Could I have some suggestions and an estimated ballpark for price? Just give me some links,and a price with PA sales tax (6% on the dollar) Please keep it under $700 but have it be able to work on the most current games please.

$714 after rebate delivered, unless you change the power supply to the CX600 to bring it to $700
Most should not collect tax and delivery should be shown at included

The core i3 is a gaming tier 2
Got the graphics up to HD 7850
The lower wattage CPU (55W) and moderate wattage graphics (130 watt) plus fans and drives allowing 60 watts, means 245 watts on 12V, and 30% buffer is 318 watt target or 26.5A on a single rail.
CX600 with 3 year warranty has 46A available
The XFX with 5 year warranty and solid state capacitors is 44A
It is possible to knock a few dollars off the motherboard using a B75 one.
An Intel build allows later upgrade into an i5.
The Phenom I saw in the other build is power hungry and has no better gaming than the i3.
I chose a decent computer case, but there are others with at least 2 fans (intake+exhaust) and USB 3.0 and 2.0 on the front panel and is spacious inside.


Can somebody show me a good completely built computer on newegg?
Q. I need a computer that would play games like skyrim battlefield and arma2, it must be under $700 and it needs to be COMPLETE with operating system, graphics card, and a decent CPU.

A. Your best bet is a Fusion Vision-series APU(A10 is the best at a moderately priced 100), the graphics unit on that can hold you until you save up enough to get a real graphics card(A10 is unique in that it's GPU is both integrated and discrete, it's also a quad core).

Then get a GOOD motherboard, a GOOD power supply, and good RAM, RAM doesn't matter nearly as much as the other two, I'd reccomend 8GB of 1333MHz if you have a tight budget, or even 4/6GB if it's that tight. I see too many people over invest on GPU/Processor and just gimp everything else, not understanding it hurts them in the long run(bad motherboards severely limit expansion and bad power supplies can suddenly fail, causing permanent and irreversible damage to other components, there's even stories of them catching fire!

For motherboard get an ASRock Extreme/Professional series or for ASUS get either a P8277/Formula IV AM3+, they're all around 125-200 dollars but their future proof value is invaluable.

For Power supply get at least 650W certified to at least bronze level, such as an Antec EarthGreen, etc.

When you do get enough money for a good GPU get an ASUS 7770 GHz edition, at that price point AMD quite frankly beats out Nvidia, especially in specialized cards(GHz, Classified, etc).

Good luck!
