Since you are buying everything from tigerdirect I would probably go with:

http://www.tigerdire...e...5&CatId=106

OR

http://www.tigerdire...e...3&CatId=106

If you look on newegg I know the bottom one is cheaper and newegg usually has the same item a few dollars less than tigerdirect has on all items.



For a video card I would try and get the fastest one possible, if you can afford it. Get nothing less than a 9600 or 8800gt/8800gts (g92) IMO. If I had a budget I could help you pick the best for your buck.

I saw you edit your post above stating $500 budget so I did the best I could by not going over as You forgot to list a Hard Drive so you will need one unless you have one at home you can reuse..

Do not go lower on the Power Supply as I recommend the ocz,pc power and cooling, corsair from tigerdirect.

I don't have the time and redo a whole pc list for you from newegg but you might end up saving $20-$30 if you shop from them.

With the 2 items listed above it comes to $466.90 at the time I posted this. You need a hard drive so I left some room..

That is a good deal but that is the 500w version which would be enough for your system. The 500w version if I am not mistaken is actually made from a different manufacturer than the other OCZ psu's are. It is still a pretty good PSU although there is better. The other OCZ Psu's are made by FSP.

You will be fine though with that.
