Hey, who all here knows a lot about computers, building your own, gaming, etc? I've been toying with the idea of building myself a PC lately. I have a Mac laptop that I would still use a fair bit also. I really enjoy gaming, and think this would be a much better idea than buying a xbox 360 or ps3. I know it would cost more, but I could do a hell of a lot more with it and keep upgrading it over time.

Here is the list of what I think I am going to get.

Processor: AMD Phenom 9850 2.5GHz Quad Core.

Motherboard: Gigabyte AMD 770.

Graphics Card: MSI GTX260.

Hard Drive: Hitachi 1 TB Hard Drive

Memory: Kingston DDR2 1066 2x2GB

Monitor: Acer 20" Widescreen monitor. 1680x1050 resolution. Almost High def.

Power Supply: Apevia 680W PS

Case: XCLIO Windtunnel. ATX Full Tower. 2x250mm fans on the side. 1x120 in the back. Like I said, I have my laptop so I wont be moving it much.

Altogether with the mouse and keyboard I want, the total is going to be just over 920 dollars before shipping.
