recommendations?

Hello guys, I am planning on building a new computer in the $800-$900 ranger . I was wondering if someone could recommend some capatable parts for a computer that will be mostly used for gamming.(preferrably newegg.com or a better site if you know of any)

Thanks a ton!

Here is a short list to get you started. Should fall into your price range. This assumes you only need the box and no peripherals.

Asus P5K Motherboard
Intel Q6600 CPU
2GB DDR2-800 Corsair
Antec Sonata III Case and PSU
Seagate 250GB Hard Drive
LiteOn DVDRW
eVGA Geforce 8800GT Video card

If that is pushing the budget too much, I would recommend the E6750 instead of the q6600.

Take a look at my build, it comes up to a few cents less than 900$

https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion...asp?ID=4713649

if ya want to lower the cost get the c2d 2.66 and lower the hdd to the 250 gb version, which should lower the cost to about 800$
