$600 budget gaming pc - already have graphics card

[fry33]

I'm looking to spend ~$600-$650 on the rest.

I don't expect to have a top of the line computer, but I'd like it to be able to run games with absolutely no problem such as Starcraft 2/Diablo 3 etc.

I'd like something that won't be obsolete in 2 years, and something that I'll be able to upgrade.

Hopefully that's not asking too much for my budget.


Anyways here's the card that I already have

Video Card - Not sure what information is relevant, so here's like half of what's on the box.
HD4870 Sapphire Toxic 1GB GDDR5 Memory PCI-E version 2.0 "overclocked"

I already have keyboard/mouse/monitor etc

I plan on ordering from newegg.com but I don't want to accidentally buy things that aren't compatible with eachother.

I'd appreciate any help.

Found this on tigerdirect

This one isn't too bad either: Visionman V133-97202 Venom Premium Barebones - Thermaltake V3 Black Edition, Asus Motherboard, Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz, 4GB DDR3-1333, HD Audio, Gigabit LAN, Radeon HD4200, Fully Assembled at TigerDirect.com

if I had the money id buy that just for an extra pc for my room.

Are you wanting AMD or INTEL?

Someone suggested this to me - I'm pretty ignorant on the subject but from what I could understand it looks compatible to me, and the reviews seemed good.

Is there anything wrong with this build?

You might also be able to pick out your parts individually for a bit cheaper.

i included a mobo and psu in both lists capable of crossfire just to give you that option. if you don't think you'll want to add a second card though, the totals of both lists can be reduced by going with a lower wattage psu.

I vote build #2 from muffin.

 

[VishKapish]

I vote for #1 from muffin, though I'd replace the XFX power supply with this cheaper OCZ one:
Newegg.com - OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7

The main reason for build 1 is that the reviews I've seen of the 1055t show that a Phenom X4 will outperform it in games, which is the main purpose of your build. You'd be spending more money on a processor that will perform less on games.
