I'm planning to build a new comp...last time I built one, my 5800gt was a new vid card. I'll need a mobo, processor, vid card, psu, ram and case..

I don't overclock, but I plan on gaming...with a 1k-1300 budget, can I come up with something that would last a few years?
 
For $1000k should get a good rig. Here are my suggestions...

Athlon 64 x2 5600+ $184
Cosair XMS2 2 x 1 GB DDR2 800 $131
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 $140
EVGA 8800 GTS 320MB $280
Cosair 520watt PSU $125
Thermaltake Soprano $80

Total $940

good setup there.
 
I've had AMD for the last 2 comps and might wanna switch to Intel..nice change.
 
check out my sig.

mobo = 150 AR
cpu = 235
case = 75 AR
ram = 130 AR
psu = 250
vid card = 520 AR

total = $1360

850W is definitely overkill unless you want to SLI, which is what I want to do in the future, so you can save a lot of money there. And when I bought the ram, it was more expensive than it is now, so you can probably get a comparable system for just about $1300. Good luck
