Hey guys,
I was hoping you could review my system I am wanting to purchase and see if there are any parts that are not worth buying or any upgraded items I could replace for the same amount or less. This is only my second system I have built and am not up to date on all the new stuff as much as I should be. I will be running this system on a 22inch LG Widescreen Monitor.
1. AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ955FBGIBOX - Retail
2. ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3 DDR3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

I already have a Storm Sniper Gaming Case from Cooler Master (link - http://www.pcconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=9330621&oext=1038A&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=9330621)
and a PC Power and Cooling 750 watt power supply.
I am looking at a total of about $634.96 for these items. If you have any advise or opinions on anything, ecspecially the video card, please let me know your thoughts and anything better I can purchase. My budget is about $700. I am looking at playing Crysis, Far Cry 2, Modern Warfare 2 when it comes out, and Age of Conan/ Aion/ WoW.
Thanks guys,
Dedine
