That's my comp build. The moniter I'm getting (I guess I am)
You must login or register to view this content.
On top of that, I need a mouse and keyboard, so all together it's around 750.
I have 650 currently, and am hoping to sell a few more things with ebay.
Please tell me what I can do to improve it. Just so you know, my friend built this (He builds/makes/assembles computers for everyone), so I might not know the terminology.
Things I need:
every thing, I am starting from scratch
Thank you!
Also, I am aiming for a gaming computer, FYI. Also, I'm paying with PayPal.
The games I want to play smoothly are as follows:
Minecraft
GunZ the Duel
Some steam games (BFBC 2, Black Ops)
And other ones. I really want to play gunZ good, though.

More Ram, And I recommend a 1 Tb Hard drive
Okay, but I'm struggling financially as is. Do you think I should wait till June 30th? I'll have 500 more dollars then.

For the games you are playing, this is good enough. But, I would prefer to get an Intel processor; AMD processors tend to get heated quickly.

Put it this way, for about $100 more you could build an i7 sandybridge machine. If this is something you desperately need now, then by all means get it, but if you can hold off on it, I'd save now and get quality stuff then most of the crap that was on that list

That power supply might struggle a little bit. I suggest you get at least 700 Watts. Also, someone else made a thread asking for a build under $500 and i managed to find great parts and i was quite proud. Here's all the parts i found for him:
