My first build
Hey everyone,
I was looking at my piece of crap PC today, and realized I want to really start gaming, instead of just pure MMO's. So I need some experts to help me with my first build. 1. I have a budget, under $600. 2. Yes, I will buy online. Preferably from newegg or tigerdirect, because I trust them. But if you can find better deals elsewhere, feel free to include them. 3. I need everything but a OS. I already have a copy of W7 64bit. First off, I've been looking around at Newegg and I found this card, can anyone tell me if it's good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131327 It's getting decent reviews on other websites, but idk. The last time I purchased a card, Vista was just released. So if anyone knows anything about it, help is appreciated.

While a triplecore isn't bad, I'd look into a quadcore as well. If you decide to not go with the CPU cooler, look into the phenom II x4 955.
