I am thinking about building a gaming pc, however with a low-ish budget (max 620 or so), I have to find a good low budget setup.
ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail - $79.99
GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail - $79.99 + $10 mail in rebate
HD 4770 512MB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Retail - $114.99
OCZ StealthXStream OCZ700SXS 700W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply - Retail - $79.99 + $25.00 mail-in rebate
SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (with LEDs) Model BL12864TR1608 - Retail - $33.99, Might get 2 of these.
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1GHz Socket AM3 80W Dual-Core Processor Model HDZ550WFGIBOX - Retail - $99.00
OEM -Cause I don't have it at the moment, $8 (getting 2)
DVD drive:
LG DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model GH24NS50 - OEM - $27.99
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - $49.99
PS: I'm mainly going to be playing steam games with it (such as L4D(2), CS:S, TF2, HL2(EP2, EP1), Bioshock , etc... So this graphics card seems to suffice.
