A gaming rig for 1300 really...wow lets see what I can do.

CPU:Q6600 w/ Tuniq Tower
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
Video:EVGA 8800GTX
Ram: Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB)
PSU: CORSAIR 620HX l
Case: Centurion 532
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB

I just put that together very fast and without really looking....this is not the best build for your money exactly. I just wanted to show you how much of a better gaming computer can be built with that kind of money.

With just Newegg alone my shopping cart is 1344....if you used other places i bet same parts could be hard for around 1250

You have no video card left now though

 

[Sora]

oh no it was in the cart i just forgot to post it, i just put it in. Taking into consideration with the rebates even Newegg alone is below 1350. With other sites once again after rebates 1250 possibly 1230

If you want to save more money then get E6750 instead of Q6600

or the 520hx instead of the 620hx
