I'm thinking of building a gaming PC with $500-$600 can anyone tell me what specific parts I should get and how much each part costs? I've been hearing a lot about the i7 core processors and it seems like a really great product (even though I don't really know what it does haha)

Is this a good gaming PC?
Serebratio
Windows 7 Home Premium X64
AMD A6 2.1 GHz Quad Core
6 GB DDR3 RAM
500 GB Hard Drive at 3 GB/s
XFX Radeon HD 5770 1 GB
550 W power supply
Is this good enough to play MW3 Portal 2 and Sims 3?

Your Conservative Buddy jas been brainwashed,must have had trouble finding it, you only need 4 gigs RAM, the makers must have put out the rumour to sell more,http://www.filesonic.com/file/2271117374I dont know why people are saying getting more than 4gb is good. If any one can name me a game which will take your total ram use above about 3gb i will eat my computer.
Even Crysis + a dvd + the internet running doesnt take my PCs ram usage above 3gb. (try running games and pressing ctrl alt del and going to the performance tab. See how much ram is actually being used by games, you will be surprised)
4gb is a good amount as it is more than you need but ram comes in 1gb or 2gb sticks and most computers have 2 or 4 ram slots so it adds up nicely.
Also look very carefully at what graphics card you are buying, about 80% of a games performance is dependant on the graphics card in my opinion.
