Sugestions for a Cenderella PC

[dataxpert]

Last year I build a Cinderella Gaming PC . Base on this GA-P35-DS3L Gigabyte, E4600 Core 2 Nvidia OEM 8800 GT ( take out from my XPS 420 ) , WD 500 Gb ( don’t remember witch one ) case not relevant since It was for my nephew and I use is old TT Shark Case. ) very impressive machine for the price.

This year he want I do the same. So instead of start to make search , I said why not ask the folks here, So what will be your choice for a Cenderella Gaming PC, let say for a 19” with 1280 x 1024 , I will not buy him a new screen , especially not a LCD, the way he punch is thing when he get mad. No need to go too much in detail with link to the parts, it's for have a general Idea.

I'd say you have a very good list of parts from last year...

I have a budget at the time ( his tax return ) so I push more on the GPU than the CPU, my intention was to switch the CPU if he need more power. ( most easy parts to change without playing in the OS ) He never ask for more. ( unless I will have paid )

Thanks jcmaz, I should may be said in my post than for me it's more the GPU my problem to choose..... OC will make the pc perform more, but it's not what I have i mind for that build. I want an affordable PC, not so bad for gaming. a little bit like the on your signature, except I will prefer an Intel solution, not I don't like AMD, but it's more easy for me to keep all me rig with the same kind of processor, so I can switch them. As I said the problem for a non real gamer like me is to choose the video card. spec are spec....
