05# - PSU[Power Supply]

Power supply must definitely be high powered, for gaming PC, for this PC we need at least 500WATS of power, i suggest you an OCZ or Codegen PSU, There isnt really much to say about PSU-s, because you just need a quality brand, in case you don't want to burn your PC down !

04# - Graphics card

XFX Radeon HD 5670 1GB
For graphics card i would really suggest something good, something good means good cash.. but something good for low price? you should check out XFX graphics cards they are really good in prices and in performance.. even tho the motherboard has integrated Graphics, but it isn't for gaming.. you will get very very low FPS, which means HUGE lag. My piece of choice is the XFX radeon HD 5670 !! It has 1024mb of GDDR5 memory which is @ 4000 mhz  a core clock of 775 MHz and DirectX 11, shader model 5.0, ATI eyefinity and all other good stuff, it is a very very good graphics card

03# - Processor

AMD Phenom 2 X2 550 BE Processor
So we have to choose AMD processor now, because we have a motherboard that supports only AMD processors, and socket AM2, AM2+, AM3 . I chose Processor called: AMD Phenom 2 X2 550 BE <- What this all means, that this is phenom 2 brand, and x2 means for two cores, and the BE stands for Black edition. This means, that this processor has unlocked FSB and multiplier, u can clock it pretty high . There is a secret about this processor. This processor used to be AMD phenom 2 x4, but two cores were shutdown.. And there is a way with the motherboard i chose to unlock these cores, So for the price of dual-core processor you get a quad-core processor, CPU for a buck?

02# - Motherboard

GA M85M-US2H
Motherboard is the most important part of the PC, almost everything else in PC depends on motherboard, what Graphic card you can use, what processor, what optical drives, what hard drive. For choosing motherboard you must know what brand of Processor you want to use, either AMD or INTEL, for me AMD is the option, because they have published the "Black Edition" Processors which are meant for overclocking plus i am overclocking everything i can. Now i know that i want an AMD processor, so i need to get a motherboard which has the same socket, as the new AMD processors have: AM2+, AM3. I chose motherboard : GA M85M-US2H which has integrated video ( Geforce 8200 ), ddr2 RAM support, socket AM2, AM2+, AM3 support and supports up to 8 gb memory.

01# - Your budget ?

Budged, it is a big question, that how much you have to spend? you don't have to spend much to get a good gaming rig. First of all, you need to know how fast and powerful PC you want to build, is it with 2 core processor, 4 core or even 6 core processor that you want to use. What graphics card do you want to use, what memory ( RAM ), what hard drive, what motherboard, what kind of case.. it might look too hard for you, but believe me it isn't, you can build your own PC, but you just need to know how, and hopefully i will get you to that stage!
