First off, hello :tongue: I'm new to this Forum and came here for some advice. I want to build a decent gaming computer, but I'm on a budget ($700). Mostly I play Guildwars, and dragon age Origins. But in the future, about 2-3years from now I would like my PC to run new games with no problem. I looked around Google and other sites and came up with a build i believe will work for me. Also I don't plan on buying anything till about November (Black Friday). Anyone care to review and tell me if everything looks good? Also any changes i could make for the better?

i recommend you wait until you are ready to build until you start doing a parts list... who knows what prices will do and who knows, maybe a new processor or graphics card will come out that will be cheaper and smash that graphics card to bits..

technology changes to fast to think ahead ;)
 
Yeah, wait about 1 to 2 weeks before black friday or whenever you're ready to buy. I'm sure Newegg will be running sick black friday deals and what not, and prices will go down and up. Welcome to T-F by the way! :thumbsup:

Mike
