Hey guys,

I wanted to build a budget gaming PC, for about $900 more or less. I mostly play the Call of Duty series some Sims 3, Crysis, Fallout 3 and a few other games. I will buy stuff from either Newegg or TigerDirect(the store) in Toronto. I prefer to use Intel E7400 series and up, and my GPU is getting old(8600GT overclocked to 650mhz). I don't care about the GPU brand, I want something at the power of a GTS250. I intend on using my OCZ 4GB SLI(800mhz) ready memory I recently purchased.I will also keep my HP 19" 1400x900 monitor. I have read at Maximum PC about the Crysis 40fps $500 rig, but I'm worried the parts wont last that long(future-proof). I plan to OC maybe just a little bit. Something like 2.6ghz to 3 or so. Plan to build it within the next 6 months. I would also like to note that I will spend the most on the GPU, and a 250-320GB drive is fine. ANY version of windows is fine also.

See the General Hardware forum (and read the sticky), this forum is for prebuilt PCs.

Plan to build it within the next 6 months.
Then just read some of the many other "building a system" threads for now.

Prices and parts available will change a lot in the next 6 months, probably including new cards from nvidia and ATI.
