what socket(s) does your cpu cooler fit?

newer GPUs will work, as none of the GPUs above are really available or worth buying anymore

 

[user1453]

everything included except optical drives

not sure if you already have any or need to buy new ones

LG775 ? not sure, it came with a core 2 duo E7200
probably not that good, thought it might cut costsss

inc monitor, but is 50 over budget.

user1453's spec is much better for gaming, but i tried to fit everything you need for a new build in my spec while allowing for easy upgrades in the near future, hence the lower performance
