and wanted to create a new gaming computer, what would you purchase in terms of parts? I've always purchased retail computers and added a video card or ram upgrades but never built my own and I've been informed that there is much $$ to save (or put towards a better machine). I'm open to any suggestions or build orders if someone recently purchased a good selection of parts.
By the way hi this is my first post. And no, I'm not a girl, this forum account is based off my char's name from Planetside, since they tend to hover these boards. Thanks in advance for any builds/advice!
I would buy one from a pretty damn good comp builder, probably someone named something like Blues.
Hey my name is similar to Blues.
Hi there, I build computers.
Now that I'm done with my obligatory plug, I'll put together a list later on when I'm not busy trying to see straight. TALLY HO

Jesus those are old. I haven't really kept up with computers since I can't afford the temptation, but $700 should buy you a good system, hit Blues up for a free consult
While I'm busy writing responses to 6 month old threads because I'm still trying to keep myself coherent and got confused, ignore everything in those threasd cause they're ooldddddddd

F computers.
I'd buy some bbq hot pork rinds, Street Fighter 4, and everyone a copy of halo 3.
Halfass list before I pass back out, I'll need to check prices on video cards and CPUs to verify price to performance, and get more specific parts on the other shit, been a couple months since I built a comp.
E8500
4GB RAM
GTX260
1TB hdd cause they're like fucking 70$ now
quality mobo probably P45 or something
500-700W namebrand PSU
Centurion 534/Antec 300/random case that's dropped while I wasn't looking
sleep then work then I'll fix this up kty.

Get this man a beer.
How do you go about making a list without asking if the person already has a monitor or OS they want to use?

because they are posting from a computer and hence already have the monitor.
Oh, and OS's are cheap, usually free 99

OS's can usually be procured for cheap-as-free if you really can't afford a liscense
Windows 7 is currently free.

You do not want to use W7 as your main OS tho, esp if you don't know anything about computers (I already know half a dozen idiots that lost a bunch of data formatting because they're too stupid/lazy to understand partitions)
