help finding good parts for new comp

So I need some finding parts to build a computer.

I don't know which ones are good, or compatible or whatever, so I'd like for someone out there to find good parts up to $800, though it would be best to stay around/under $650-$700.

A few things I would like; at least a 750GB HDD. A four core processor, and be power full enough to run something like Crysis, or the upcoming Starcraft 2 on max.

Thanks!:D

EDIT: Also, I need a goodmonitor, HD resolution and all that.

Don't include the monitor on the computer price though.

Is the $650-$750 budget JUST for the box, or do you still need an OS?

More expensive, but better GFX card.

My only concern is about the processor. His is 3.4 GHz, while yours is 2.8

How much of a difference will that make?

And thanks!:D

It's worth the forty bucks for the extra 600 MHz.

its in my post nzxt m95 is a bit wierd looking fo sure but its a much better case to work with keeps your pc justas cool if not cooler and has good room and cable management.. the tornado is made of shotty parts, looks good, and is a cramped space. the only people i recommend the tornado too are those wanting to basically fit a microatx/lan party pc into an atx case :P

The only real reason that I choose the Tornado was asthetics and the blueness of it and the blue LED fan. Did I say I like blue? :roll:

WOW! The NZXT M59 is amazing! I put it in my wish list, thanks!

It even keeps the blue theme going. :D

hey i have an antec 900 doesnt get much more blue than lighting up a corner of a room. though the tornado is nice and heck its got alot of qualities that are desireable for a sub $50 dollar case. when so much more can be had for 10 bucks over its hard to say no.

yes your cpu is superior but these are 4 core cpu's we wont really need to worry until next year how good they are and ill bet my last dollar the worst their going to get is a phenom x4 (am2+) 2.5ghz or higher hahaha
