Hello, I am thinking build a budget build. I dont have any certain builds i would like to do or edit off of. So I wanted to know if you guys had any suggestions. Also I have some questions about my PC, and I have a magerity of games i would like to play if it helped you guys out.
Games I would like to play: Battlefield 3, World of Tanks, Guild Wars 2 (World vs World multiplayer) PlanetSide 2, Mincraft lol, Total war games (Medieval II, Shogun II, ect).
1) I am looking at either a 66O or a 7785O for my build, wich is good for a money performance ratio?
2) Is the Atholon 4x CPU a alright begining cpu just to save some money?
3) Will your build be future proof for atleast a year or half to roll around?
4) Why did you pick your parts?
5) Can your build run MOST games at 1O8Op at medium to high settings?
6) Im looking for a good Monitor (dont put one in your build) for around 1OO dollars. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys and I cant wait to see your builds.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($77.55 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory ($62.99 @ Newegg)

Power Supply: Corsair Builder 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($16.97 @ Outlet PC)
Total: $553.59
Everything is really nice on this build, except that I would consider shopping around on the RAM to find some 1600 MHz or higher RAM. I like Patriot whenever it is on sale.
The Crucial Ballistix sport is great for over clocking just a click in the bios will take it up to 1866mhz
You can swap them out for Corsair 1600mhz but thay allways come clocked @1333mhz and have to be clocked up in the bios so i dont see much point
1333 will be fine for gameing
i would recommend this monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236100R
FYI: I am only 13 :s. And buying from diffrent sites with my build is it safe? Is there more hassal? If you could restrict the build to 1 or 2 sites it mmmiigght be helpful?
pcpartpicker just picks all the cheapest from all sites on the net you will be able to buy all or most of it from one site (you may even get a discount buying all at one place)
But all the 4 shops listed are big retailers so you will be fine
Bump/Update- On new egg i got at 574 dollar build with a Athlon, Gtx 66O, 4 gb 16OO gskill ram,Caviar Blue HDD, ect. And i want to know if the Athlon is alright for another year? And if its alright to put amd and nividia parts together.
