The possiblities are endless with your budget and what you want to do. Search the forums for "$1000 AMD build" to get a better idea of what to use in your system.

$700 won't really allow for a decent gaming card, arix.
Jay, you forgot a processor! I also don't see the need for 300gb for gaming and surfing. |
