$700 First Time Build *Please Help*

[JayJackson]

This is my first time build. I am looking for a gaming computer and am willing to pay about $700.00. I already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Some of the games I play are Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, and Warhammer online. Please help.

Thanks in advance

This build is $679 before mail in rebates and would have no problem maxing those games out.

comes out to $743.63 shipped with $40 back in MIR's

everything is the same as above just different hard drive and power supply. the 650watt will give you plenty of room to expand down the road

Second PJ's build, you can go with the XFX card and different hard drive but there won't really be a difference to justify the extra cash, but i would chuck in the 650tx in case you decided to crossfire 4890s.
