My 600 dollar gaming computer

[HerpaDerp]

Well, I've compiled a list of parts (Thanks Ethan), for a decent/good gaming computer with the budget of 600 dollars, here's what I got:

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156243
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371047
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178265
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185
Optical: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136236
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102925
Total price: $590

So, are these parts good?

What i want is to be able to play modern and very high quality games (Battlefield Bad Company 2, Crysis, etc.) at very high settings with good FPS (45 - 60 FPS)

If this is my final list, now it's off to gain 600 dollars. :c

You appear to have copypasted the wrong urls (or at least, not the correct full address) on every single item.

The parts look good but I don't know about 520 watts and a 6870...

Newegg's PSU calculator comes up as 490W PSU is needed.

Be very sure about this.

you might want to upgrade to a better PSU so that in the future upgrading will be easier.

I spent 800 dollars on mine, it isn't a gaming PC, it's mid-range, i might make it $1000 build if i buy a 6870.

Instead get 2 500GB hard drives and set up Raid-0 for great performance. You'll get a much better framerate that way.
And it appears so you'll be able to max out just about everything for the next couple of years.

That's what I was thinking. Get at least a 700w one, so in the future you can have enough power to possibly crossfire that card. :o

It says itself, it's only a reference. If it is correct, that's only 30w left. You need much more than that or you'll burn it out.
I would do at least 100 more than what it says, always. Get a 700w one.

[HerpaDerp]

Recommend me a good one that doesn't cost much more.

I haven't heard of raid improving framerates "much better"...

I could never do a RAID I'd probably screw it up somehow.

this
and you get 20 bucks back for rebate

edit: also won't you need an OS and monitor? (unless if you have both)

[indyjones]

You wont be doing Crysis on that computer.  Modern Warfare probably.

Seems pretty good. Should be plenty of power, and like I said, you can buy another card in the future and crossfire it.

Pph, my 4850 can do Crysis just fine, his should do it great.
