Put some effort into helping instead of just posting those useless generic not even good guides.

Do I need to buy a fan too, or does it come with the CPU?

[Bones4]

I built my PC for $600.

i5 2500K (With Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus heatsink/fan)
NVidia MSI GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II/OC
4GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM
1 TB HDD
550W PSU
DVD Burner

You just have to shop around and watch for rebates/coupons.

Edit* Also, this was 7 months ago.

depending on where you buy, a lot of prebuilts arent much more then building anyways.

But where's the fun in buying a prebuilt? My favorite thing about upgrade time is putting everything together. :(

I guess the CPU and GPU come with cooling systems.

[Bones4]

Yes.

why did we get like 10 of these topics in about a week?
Is it because Christmas is coming?
We need to just get a computer buying guide topic and have it be stickied.
It sure would cut down of topics of people asking for the same things with the relatively same price range.

just installed a new PSU and thick bullstuff wires go all over.
should've bought one with detachable wires...

and this

which one is better?
The gigabyte one is 870 mhz, compared to the other cards 800, but I don't know if that means anything.

Go for the Gigabyte one.  Not for the 70 MHz, but the three loving fans.  Those fans will be real handy, since most come with only 1 or 2 if you're lucky.

The 70 MHz difference is hardly enough to make a difference and there are probably aftermarket programs like Afterburner to overclock it anyway.
