The follow is a hardware only list. This assumes you have an OS, Monitor, Keyboard, and mouse avail. If not an OS is approx $99 for 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Intel Core i5-2400 - 189.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819115074) MSI H67MS-E23 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 - 79.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813130598) Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 - 19.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820146748) HIS H687FN1GD Radeon HD 6870 1GB - 159.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814161389) Xigmatek ASGARD II B/S CPC-T45UD-U01 Black/Silver - 39.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811815005) Samsung 22x DVD Burner SH-222BB - 16.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827151244) HITACHI HDS721050CLA362 500GB - 69.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822145299) Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-400 400W - 51.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817371046) This is just a basic list. You can save a few bucks with changing the case and power supply to cheaper ones. And possibly the processor to the Pentium G850 but it is only a dual core chip... Most Games don't take advantage of quad cores but it doesn't hurt. here is that link (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819116397)
