CPU:-
AMD Phenom || X4 920 or ( Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 or Core i7 920)
Graphics:-
ATI Radeon HD 4870 (512 Mb) vs Nvidia 9800GTX+
if you have more suggestion about Motherboard, and other more features I always welcome suggestion. however keep the concept of price in range medium (not normal nor high)
10 points ! congratulation for best answer.
thank you in advance
what about
ATI Radeon HD 4870(512Mb or 1Gb) vs Nvidia GTX 260 896Mb Core216
Answer
Building a gaming machine is usually done to a person's preference. Many things usually come down to graphics (ATi/AMD or nVidia), cpu (Intel or AMD), and mobo (Too many to list).
The first thing you have to look into is do you want a single card to run graphics or go crossfire/SLI. This will help you chose a style of mobo. As for a high end gaming a single high-end card will do, but is always better with dual cards. I have always been partial to Asus and Gigabyte. You can get a AM2+ Asus M3A or go with Intel Gigabyte i7 GA-EX58-DS4 or an LGA 755 board with two PCI-e x16
As for cpu, you can go with a quad and be ready for the future, but you will be paying for it. The Intel quad run at $350+ and AMDs runs at $250+ for the good ones. I would recommend going with dual core as you can save money and there are no programs that will take advantage of a quad yet (Early would be in Q2 or Q3 of 2010). That being said, go with either the Intel LGA 775 E8400 or AMD AM2+ 6000+. If you want to get quad, then go with the Phenom II 940 instead of the 920.
As for ram, there really is no difference that can be noticed, so going with DDR2-800 is good. Get about 4gb. If you can afford it, get DDR3.
Graphics is always the story with gaming machines. You should always go with the company that the chipset is of your mobo meaning that if you have a nVidia chipset, go with nVidia cards, if you have AMD/ATi, stay with AMD/ATi. If you are one the has an Intel or Via or other chipset, either company will do. The best cards out there are the nVidia 295 and ATi 4870X2 but both will cost an arm and a leg. For a single card or crossfire/SLI, you can get the nVidia 260 216 or ATi HD 4870. If you need something cheaper, the nVidia 9800 (or better known as the 250 or 8800) or the ATi HD 4850. The nice thing about the 4850 is that if you crossfire them, you can get great fps rates and keep at a reasonable cost.
Make sure that you have proper cooling and power for your new parts. Also remember, if this is a compete build, you need an HDD, optical drive, case and psu at min (keyboard, mouse, monitor also might be needed if you do not have these things).
In the end, it is all about choises. Also, be aware that the i7 is limited in overclocking as the chip can only use 1.6v before being fried.
Wish you good luck and remember to research into the parts before you purchase.

$300-350 Budget for gaming PC?
Spencer
Tomorrow I should be getting a paycheck around $300-350, and I want to use all of it to build a pc that can play games such as BF3, Skyrim, Deus Ex:Human Revolution, The Witcher 2, Diablo 3 and many other game alike on graphic settings near upper medium-high with 60fps, the computer I have just wont cut it anymore for gaming.
Whats the best build for my budget? Is $350 enough of a budget to build a PC strong enough to run those types of games near high at 60~ fps? If not, what kind of budget am I looking at? Thanks.
Im not looking for ULTRA settings or 120fps.
Medium to high with 45-60 fps is all I need, and I already have a decent gfx card.
Answer
of the mentioned games BF3 is the most demanding, so i put together a setup good enough to play it on medium-high
cpu: Intel i3-2120 LGA 1155 ($125)
mobo: Biostar H61 LGA 1155 ($50)
ram: G.Skill 2x2GB DDR3 1333 ($25)
hdd: Samsung F3 500GB ($80)
odd: LG DVD burner ($20)
psu: Cooler Master GX 450W 80Plus Bronze ($45)
case: Antec Gaming Series One ($50)
gpu: assuming you have something in the range of the GeForce GTX 550 Ti ($000)
total $395 (prices taken from newegg.com)
this is without OS, monitor, speakers, keyboard & mouse
