Mostly, I play WoW, CSS, HL2, and various Steam games. I'm trying to put together a computer that can handle those games on max settings and still get a nice fps. So far, I have these.

Already have the Nvidia 9800 GT graphics card atm.
Also, Already have monitor, mouse, keyboard.

I was wondering if any of you could come up with a Power Supply, Hard Drive, RAM, and DVD/CD Reader/Burner for as cheap as you can. I don't want them to completely suck though. Just a little better than good enough to run with the computer. All help and comments are welcome!
Please and thank you!
 
these are good

how much would that leave in your budget for a psu, because there are alot of choices depending on how much you wanna spend.

also, if you want, you can drop vista and download the windows 7 rc (64-bit) for free, then you can buy it when it comes out in october.

Windows 7 Release Candidate
 
lol why is everyone saying Windows 7?
Also, I was looking for a bit cheaper. But I suppose those will do.

Well I wouldn't recommend you get the cheapest components. If you skimp too much, you can suffer a lot with performance and/or quality.
That being said, it is entirely possible to get quite good components for pretty cheap, if you know what to look for.

In the case of the power supply, for example, the PC Power and Cooling (or a Corsair) will tend to last a lot longer than a cheaper one.

Very true.. on the original version of the build I have, I went cheap on as much as possible, and ended up replacing 50% of the stuff I had bought on that rig (that'd be just the Motherboard) :D

The RC1 is free for a good bit of time, plus it'll be the new OS after October 22nd; so might as well get used to it right?
