[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 1886679, member: 4307"] Minimum would would be a fx 8150 bulldozer or intel i5 2500(not 25xx but a 2500 or 2500K) CPU That's 200 bones.(don't over clock the sandy bridge and the stock cooler is fine, I even have a stock one you can have if you buy an oem chip with no cooler) Windows 7 pro OEM is a 100 SSD for a boot drive. Prices vary I am getting away with a 120gb OCZ agility 3 but I load no applications on my boot drive other than my game I play everything else all go on a SATA 3.0 6gb/ps disk. Looking to change that soon when SSD prices come down a little more 2 1TB storage drives raid 0 mirroring I prefer WD caviar blacks that's 200 16 gig of quality low latency pc1600 ram That's a 100 for 16 gigs MOBO of your choice 100 to 199 depends on what cards and ports you will want. Case and at least a 400 watt power supply. add another 150 or so for a decent mid range video card. With the SSD and enough ram with either of those processor choices you'll be very happy. We might could get you a screamer for right around 1K You don't need a graphics card but I like to offload video processing. [/QUOTE]
