Answer» Hey everyone! Im looking to build myself a gaming PC, but have never done so before, so I was hoping you all could REVIEW my choices and tell me what you think. I'm basically looking for the best bang for my buck, I don't have a ton of money to spend on this. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, wasn't sure where to put it.
Alright, so heres what I got so far. I am still missing a Disk Drive and a Case though, not really sure what to look for in those fields, if you guys could help me out there. And I'm at about 700 bucks so far, would like to spend no more than 60 bucks if possible. Also, so far compatible? Seem appropriately priced? Know of any SITE where it might be sold cheaper? Also, I was hoping on GETTING the Intel Core Duo E8400, but I wasn't able to find one with a price lower than 195, which is around 60 bucks more than the E7200, would the price difference be worth it? Oh, and am I missing anything else (essentials) besides the case and drive?

1. all your newegg links are dead links. please redo them.
2. do you really need a 64bit OS? there are numerous compatibility issues with 64bit OS's.
3. i recommend at least a 500w power supply. 500w is about the minimum for gaming computers.
4. you said your missing the harddrive, but i see you listed a 500gb samsung HD...?
5. for a budget case, i recommend a case by XION (click here). they make affordable cases and they look cool too. they also come with a power supply that you can take out and use as a backup incase your antec PSU fails.homer, he said he's missing a disk drive. I guess what he means is an optical drive as one isn't listed.
