Need to build a new computer (BUDGET)

[CoolKoopaTroopa]

So, apparently either my old computer or monitor was shocked by lightning and I need a new one. As you guys already know I'm not much of a tech savvy person. So I was wondering if one of you guys could help me build a new one.

I've been looking at http://www.ibuypower.com/
and they seem to have some decent prices.
The computer doesn't need to be too strong just strong enough to run games like BC2, Tf2, Portal 2, and B3.

Thanks in advance.
NINJA EDIT: budget is around 500

Are you looking to build one from scratch or get a custom computer? Ibuypower does not sell the individual parts.

Try to get at least 200 more and get one of these

You're joking right? this is the best gaming PC out there right now

You're loving with me right? The computer you linked only has a better processor and probally more ram. For 200 dollars more im sure I could add a 560 and a phenom II quad core and maybe some cooling so he can overclock whcih is much better than the one you linked

Heres something better than building one...
Buy a normal one put together by some 3rd world Indian/African/Asian who gets payed 50p. Simple loving as.

CPU You get a x3 because it is $20 cheaper than a x4 but it actually is a x4 you just unlock the 4th core in the bios
GPU 5770 is still the best bang for the buck.
PSU Cheapest PSU you can get, from a reputable company, and has enough power for this build.
Mobo Best one for that price range, if you want to splurge I'd get a higher price gigabyte
RAM OMG SLOW SPEED RAMS, speed of RAM has never meant anything and it's just a ruse to get you to pay more for a product that hasn't been changed in many years (besides single channel/dual channel/triple channel)
Case A case is just a case, I keep the side off of mine and it is 10x cooler than a super expensive case with 5 fans.

Whoops I put the GPU as the PSU and made it 2 GPUs, this comp actually comes out to under $400. You would need to spend $109 on windows 7 if you wanted that, bringing it to about $500. Also forgot the hard-drive :/ just pick one.
