1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc: gaming (minecraft and possibly some battlefield 3 if budget allows) web development, word documents, and general use.

3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible: Cameron Park, California.

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need: case, cpu, gpu, memory, hdd, optical drive, psu, Wlan, monitor.

Thank you guys for all your help, and i will keep an eye on this post if you guys have any questions. It has been several years since i have built a computer like this, and i am quite lost with all the new stuff that is available these days.
