I just want a computer that will be able to last me with games. Sounds like a pretty good setup. I will see what my brother thinks too. He can build the stuff, but he isn't very up to date on what chips do what etc etc. |
Great. A X4 920 / HD 4870 combo would be great then. Should play all games except Crysis on the highest settings at resolutions of 1600x1200 or below. For a suggested build like this, how about:

You can cut the speakers, monitor, keyboard, and maybe the case/power supply if you have one. That will bring it to about $1000. Ignore the "value midrange" label - they have a warped sense of perspective. That will run all games great.
