    I have a $800 budget on a new computer for christmas, but I really don't want to spend the whole 800. I've never made a build before but this is what I have so far:
    Code:
    CPU	AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition	$120
    Motherboard	ASRock M3A770DE	$60
    RAM	8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 SODIMM (204 pin) 1333Mhz PC3 10600 8 GB $40
    Graphics	GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1024MB	$150
    Hard Drive	Seagate Barracuda Green 1.5TB 5900RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache	$80
    Case	NZXT Gamma Classic Series GAMA-001BK	$40
    Power	Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W ATX12V v2.01 SLI Ready Power Supply $65
    Optical	Samsung 22x DVD Burner SATA Model SH-222AB	$30
    Any recommendations? I would like to be able to handle games like SR3, BF3, MW3, Skyrim, etc.

    That'll suffice, but what's your real budget if you don't want to spend $800?

    That's good I guess but you won't be able to run things like Skyrim or BF3 very well.

    Both will run fine, although with BF3 you may not be able to play in high detail very well.

    Well I could spend $800 but I'd be a lot more willing to spend like 650-750.

    What do you suggest to make games like BF3 run better? The current processor is pretty cheap so I'd be willing to spend a bit more on that, but I would like to keep it AMD.
