This is going to be a sytem my friend wants me to put together, so my budget was $750. And I didn't neglect the PSU this time either...

I'm not sure with which build to go with, any help?
(Its going to be for mainly gaming online)
 
Hey dude what are you exactly going to use your system to do that is the main question when you are going to build a system as to know exactly you are going to put into your system. Like asking questions such as am I going to use my system to play hardcore high graphic games, am I going to play low graphics game such as wow that don't require that much graphics or do I just want a system to do work.
 
Its going to run a lot of higher end graphics games like Battlefield 2, Counterstrike, HL2, etc.

Fade2Black: And suggestions on layouts for better computers... Those were the best I could find to put together for the price...
