It's been a while since I sat down and purchased parts to build a box, I've been upgrading parts here and there since the last time. And I've finally gotten to a point where upgrades just don't cut it any longer. The problem is it's been so long, I no longer know what is decent and what is shit. This is where I need your help Tribalwar.
I want to build a box, nothing fancy or spectacular. And I'm hoping that those of you who have built something recently are willing to toss in your thoughts or opinions.
I'm running a budget of 400-600$, the closer to 400$ the better, but I'm willing to go all the way to the six hundered if needed. Already have a nice case, a couple HD's, disc drives, and monitor. What I need is this:
Also, I'd like to get all of these things from one source, and a reputable source (Tigerdirect, Newegg, something like that.)
I'd like something that will handle games coming out without too much trouble, ie: QuakeWars, or Fallout3 (when it comes,) etc.

- Motherboard
- Processor - (Something decent that fits the requirements below.)
- Ram - (2 gigs)
- Video Card - PCI-E and I only need one for now (definitely pick up another one when I'm ready)
- Small SATA HD - Something less than 30 gigs is fine.
- and 2 to 3 case fans.
