SupaFly posted a good link - mysuperPC or something... I think the stuff that guy used would still be perfect for you. Now go dig for it bitch. Very Happy

RAID 0 wont be that important if you plan on sticking 1-2GB or RAM in it. Wink

The 1337 case is an important priority though. That way you can hump it when you cant dl porn. Very Happy

suck it up princess Razz

beyond that, if you really wanna build a gaming rig, youd
prolly be better off saving a bit more cash to get to the real bang for your buck line... not saying it cant be done for 600, id just have to do a lot of digging

as for a case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144001

its got a 420W psu & its 50 bucks.... yeah you might have to buy a new psu in a year or 2, but for the price, its fuckin pimp

600 for hust the things I listed seemed reasonable, I am going to steal the DVD burner drive and the RAID 0 Drives out of the 1 I have now. Then I'm going to throw my external drive into the old 1, and just keep the dvd player in it.

as far as cases go I was thinking:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811144090

or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811146017

also dual core AMD, a really nice MB, and 1 gig of high quality stuff, but yea I said around 600, meaning it can be up to 1,200 (with the tax returns comig soon)

But I would like to keep it around 600-1000

600 & 1200 were 2 very diff numbers last time i checked....

if you wanna spend a grand, i can part you out a fucking kick ass rig that will sqush bf2 under its lil toe & force it into submission... parts list coming soon

edit... just read the dual core part, 1200 is out the window

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813136152 mobo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814150108 vid card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820227219 ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103546 cpu

those 4 things are 1,095.48 before the rebates.. and for the record, i didnt take price into any consideration when choosing parts, i just picked the best shit

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131517 is another good choice for a diff mobo

but anyway, thats basically my comp with a diff chip & i can say from experience that with that ram, it fucking screams, without the 2 gigs of fast ram, it was a bit slower than i expected (i ordered my ram later, thinking my old shit would work right... it didnt, so i went 2 weeks with 512 & it wasnt any better than my old comp, 1 gig made it pretty damn good & when my 2 gig set came, well, like i said, it fuckin screams)

as a much cheaper alternative, you could get this chip http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103539

thats what im running, it has the same fsb & a techinally better L2 cache (1MB > 512kB x 2) i doubt youd notice any difference other than in your wallet... theres my part out, take it or leave it, but for price vs performance, i doubt itll get a whole ton better

Nice rig you go there supa Shocked

That mobo is really good since it has the 2 pci-x and the socket 939 proc. And that video card looks like it would laugh at BF2 with all settings @ high. If anything, I thing those are two things you defenietly can't pass up slaughter.
