![]() | I am about to embark on building my first computer. I want to build a rig which I can use to play WoW and AOEIII. But, I do not want to spend an arm and a leg. I want to keep it under $750. I need some advice on which components to buy. So lets hear it from you guys. |

| Apex Master Tech Apprentice | Are you looking for AMD or Intel? Do you prefer nVidia or ATI? etc.

| Apex Master Tech Apprentice | Okay, here's some stuff that I would recommend for your budget. Do you need everything(Monitor,Case,,Mouse,etc.)? Hopefully not, in the links below I didn't include that stuff. Motherboards- ASUS A8N-SLI DFI-LP UT nF4 CPUS- AMD Athlon 64 3700+ AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Memory- Corsair XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) Crucial Ballistix 1GB (2 x 512MB) OCZ Gold Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) Video Card- XFX Geforce 6800GS 256MB eVGA Geforce 6800GS 256MB HIS Hightech Radeon X800XL 256MB Powercolor Radeon X800XL 256MB PSU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182004 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817189005 I'm not sure how much that comes out to if you configure the parts around, but it should be pretty close to your budget, maybe even less.

| Apex Master Tech Apprentice | BTW, Welcome to PIMPRIG the best modding site on the the planet! Hope you enjoy your stay! Someone(probably T2) will be here soon with the welcome wagon. Also, if you need a case, you can always just buy a cheap one and mod it!
