Can someone maybe suggest some computer parts that will help me build my own computer. I'm thinking about spending around 800-900 dollars in building a decent gaming computer, because my computer is a piece of shit. So, good gear that would come to around 900 dollars would be nice. Thanks.

That card is about $60 too expensive.

Are you ready to start buying now, if you are, I can put together a parts list for you, I just dont want to put out a part list, then you buy in a month, when all the prices have changed.

Oh alright.

Yea, I'm going to start buying my parts this weekend, and most of the parts are going to be from frys because its the cheapest out of all the electronic stores i think. My dad doesn't like to buy things online.

Man, I was going to go to fry's site to help you out, but their site is simply awful.

So there are many routes you can go, AMD or intel, right now, amd has the better value market cornered, here is my (if I would build a pc for me today) picks for under $900:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822136320
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813128387
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819103471
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814121316
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811129061
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817341002
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827151187
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820231166

You can also build a Core2 quad setup, but $189 will only get a 2.5 quad, and AMD you get a 3.0 (and phenom II matches the C2Q in clock for clock performance, or even beats it, so its a much better deal, and the boards are cheaper for the amd too). The only Intel I would pay for now is the I7 and the boards are too expensive right now (the cheapest I7 and board would put you well over the $1000 mark, for only like 5-10% more performance.
