I'm trying to make my first build. I want to build a computer that's fast normally for running multiple programs and good for gaming. Can anyone come up with good components for around 700- 900 dollars? Prefer 700-850. THanks!

Answer
Try the Tom's Hardware $700 build, linked below- it only includes the cost of hardware, not the extra $120 you'll need for a copy of Windows.

Update: After examining the performance for this month's T.H. build, it's not great (last month's was much better). So let's go with this instead:

CPU: 2.9Ghz Athlon II X3 425 - $84

Motherboard: Gigabyte MA-770T-UD3P - $80

RAM: 4gb G.SKILL DDR3 1600 - $105

Graphics card: HIS Radeon 5770 1gb - $163

Case: Cooler Master Centurion - $60

Power supply: Corsair CMPSU-550VX - $80

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB - $56
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073

DVD/CD Burner: Sony Optiarc - $28

I'm assuming you're running at stock speeds, so I didn't include a 3rd-party CPU cooler.

Total of $657 before tax, for a 2.9Ghz triple-core system... Just add Windows! I think you've got about $27 in shipping costs and $30 in mail-in rebates- woohoo!

You can save $43 by going with a GTS 250 as your graphics card, but you'd lose DX11 support and a bit of speed. However, the GTS 250 is still slightly faster than the Radeon 5750 and 4850 cards. The choice is yours ;-)
