Ok, I pretty much wasted most of my budget and got a Dell Ultrasharp 24" screen, so I need to get a few items as cheap as possible these are:
Motherboard
CPU + Heatsink.
RAM
Case
I will be using this set up for gaming, movies, photoshop & spreadsheets etc. I don't expect the thing to run Crysis 2 at ultra settings with 32x AA, but I want it to be good enough to rely on for games such as: Black Ops, MW3, BF3, Bioshock series & you get the gist of it. Lowest set up for those 4, ( must support an MSI ATI Radeon HD 6970 ) wins
Note: I do not care for overclocking my system, have had bad experience with it in the past and will be keeping to stock clocks.
