Well, I have been WAY out of the loop. I hang out in GD way too often, heh. Anyways. My laptop is slowly dieing and I miss desktops. SO. My mission to you, is put something together for me. I'm looking probably to spend around 500-700 tops. Id like to play some of the more recent games like even GRAW. Rainbow six Las Vegas wont run. I don't even fancy them that much, I just want to try and be able to play them. I have a bunch of HDD's lying around so I dont need those. I have keyboard and mice. I have speakers. I do need a monitor, cpu, mobo, memory, case(I can get that though, but factor it in to the budget, decent cooling. Anything else?

If you have anything I can read up on that'd be great. I use Winrar a lot, so alot of extracting stuff. I play some games. I watch alot of movies on the system. I always have lots of stuff running. The last desktop I had was Venice with phase change soooo, yeah. been awhile, haha.

Thanks a lot guys. If you could do this, it would help tremendously. Also, I prefer buying from Newegg.

And anyone have a good link, or care to explain, how the Intel dual core compares to AMD's dual core? I heard Intel destroys them?
