@Alen

Tell me what I'm missing besides Hard drive and mouse etc.
First of all, you have laptop memory. Secondly you have a high end INTEL mother board with a mid range AMD cpu and a low end Graphics card.

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
GPU: 1GB AMD Radeon HD6850
Case&PSU: Thermaltake V4 Black Edition w/ 450W TT Litepower PSU
ODD: LiteOn DVD burner

Mid-range Gaming ~1000
CPU: Intel Core i5 2400
Mobo: ASRock Z68 Extreme4 B3
RAM: Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1333
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB

Exactly what I was going to say.

And the parts you listed arnt that good. I can get better parts, cheaper at my local computer shop.
Dont go to Retail for a PC, go to the small IT places. They will hook you up.

Yes Doc's True
Its not only about the gigabytes...You also need Ram with the right timings / fast ram. Better take what Doc suggests. Those setups are good.

Good luck fitting laptop memory. And 4GB is old you need for casual gaming, even hardcore gamers won't go above 6GB unless they do intense video editing, archiving, folding etc.

NSW .
Listen to what Doc said, he pretty much nailed it. Though if you're looking at a gaming build you might as well save money and hop onto the cheaper am3 870 boat or something

Was gonna list an AMD setup but I thought he'd probs have the cash to go with a budget intel setup.
Dude, let me pick out your parts.
What do you use computer for?
And which country are you in?
