So a little help here.

What parts do you need?

Need an OS also?

 

[shadow_boxer]

What kind of games do you play? What resolution is your TV?

Do you need a copy of Windows 7 included in the price?

Have a read of the system build guide here to get you started. There's plenty around on the web and youtube on how to build a system from scratch. Very easy really but the first time is always a bit nerve racking.

 

[cdeery1]

My cousin has OS for me I think. I need everything apart from keyboard, mouse any monitor.

 

[stulid]

Connecting to the TV, is it via HDMI? and you want sound from the TV?

32 or 64bit OS?

 

[cdeery1]

It's got a pc socket or hdmi!

PC socket? is that Dsub or DVI?

Do you use separate speakers or do you want the game sound to come via the TV

Use the very fast SSD to run the OS and there will be nearly 100Gb left for games etc.

The Llano is a very capable gaming chip, check out my review which includes videos of its gaming performance, I also have the same motherboard in the review - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18338581

...farming sim 2011 is main game...

Might also be worth posting a spec request on a dedicated farming simulator forum or support forum as I imagine (if it's anything like flight simulator) it can be quite specific as to it's needs. For example is it more CPU bound or GPU, which cards does it prefer, nvidia or amd? Just to help to get the most appropriate system as I'll hazard a guess it's not a commonly played game.

I tried the farming sim forum but they are so unhelpful it's unreal

 

[shadow_boxer]

From looking at the recommended spec's it seems it doesn't need to be a very powerful system but it seems there are a lot of mods available that may need a bit more oomph.

 

[cdeery1]

Yes mods will be added aswell for the game I forgot to add.

The build stulid suggests seems solid. Depending on the requirements of the game you could go down the similarly priced i3 route - the H67 or Z68 motherboards have decent onboard graphics.
