You also need RAM, and a case.

Bobs killer new PC - Gamers Forum

Thats a link to a thread when I was building a new PC. It may help you quite a bit. Personally I think the 6850 I got would be a cheaper option for you (saving around $56) as well as being more than enough power. I can run any game on max settings easy with it.

The only thing that I really dont think would cut it from that list now is the RAM. The prices on that did massively drop so its worth getting at the very least 8GB DDR3. The RAM I have listed is pretty good at 1600mhz but I already added more and dont know if games like skyrim would work without the extra 4GB.

Thats also a complete list of everything you need besides a cd drive (you generally want one to install the OS) and a monitor of some sort. Just compare parts and upgrade where you have extra cash to spend or where you want to save a few bucks.

Hey Mate, You need a case i reccomend for gaming a Corsair 600T, Or if your Water Cooling (You Don't Really Need To Unless Your Overclocking And Stuff) Use The Obsidion Graphite. Get At Least 4 GB of ram I'd Reccomend 8 GB, 650 Watt or over Power Supply i'd say atleast 700 Watt. 1 TB Hard Drive if u need heaps of storage. AMD Phenom II Processors are cool if u want to overclock. Renmember to get a CD Rom Lawlz.

Or you could get a crappy generic case and modify it to your own liking. You could save some money. If young have the time and a little talent.

thank you all for the quick reply! to CraeSC111, I definitely do not have talent aha.
this is my updated list tell me what you think.

Motherboard = MSI ATXAMD 790GX-------------193.99$
Processor = AMD FX8150-----------------------239.99$
Graphics Card = AMD Raedon HD6870-----------204.99$
Case = AZZA Solano Black---------------------114.99$----|
PSU = Cooler Master GX series-----------------109.97$----|
RAM = 8GB DUAL CHANNEL KIT 2x4GB STICKS 1600Mhz-----54.99$
HDD = Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green SATA3--179.98$---|

what about possible compatibility issues?

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live and where are you buying these parts? Some of them look a bit on the expensive side for what they are, but the RAM is really jumpin out at me. 165 bucks, even for 8 gigs, is insane. Are you buying just a single stick? 2 sticks of 4GB would be a better option.

Ya that does, I just searched for some on my break, and I'm finding them for much lower prices.... I'm buying all these online, I would like to buy off just newegg but my computer won't load newegg for whatever reason
