_PRICE:(+2360)

Please tell me how to config it to get best bang for buck OR good performance.
 
You should try the Tech Talk or Tech Help section. They're really good with this kind of stuff.
 
A pc like that is going to cost you at least $1,600 :O. I'm not sure if that $799 is what you can spend. Just tell me your budget and I will show you an amazing build.
 
Ignoring most of the other stuff, just cutting to the chase here.

FAN:Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX Gaming CPU Cooling Fan (Excellent Overclocking + Silent Proof 16dBA)(Venom Boost Pro OC Certified) [+45]

I would recommend the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm. Better for case flow, $17 cheaper, free shipping from newegg.ca

HDD:Single Hard Drive (1TB (1TBx1) SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD [+26])

This just says that its a 1TB 7200rpm harddrive, 16MB cache. It doesn't say which make it is, which is important. Choose one of these four Western Digital Caviar Blacks, free shipping. Twice the cache.

KEYBOARD:Saitek Eclipse-II (PK02U) Gaming Keyboard [+45]

I'm not sure about the quality of your chosen keyboard, so I would recommend a logitech g15. Newegg.ca has a great deal on it now, selling it for $50 with free shipping.

MOUSE:XtremeGear Optical USB 3 Buttons Gaming Mouse

Get a logitech g5. Enough said. Look online, newegg doesn't carry it, you should be able to get it for around $50. Newegg does carry the newer version, the g9 for $80.

MONITOR:24' LCD - Asus VH242H Wide Screen TFT Active Matrix LCD Display (Black) - Fall Special [+199]

Make sure you look into this monitor extensively. If your monitor sucks but your comp is great things will still look crappy.

MOTHERBOARD: (3-Way SLI Support) Asus P6T Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Mainboard Triple-Channel DDR3/1600 SATA RAID w/ eSATA [+39]

Motherboard looks good.

MEMORY:6GB (2GBx3) PC1333 DDR3 PC3 10666 Triple Channel Memory [+69] (Corsair or Major Brand)

Brand is important here. Figure out what they might be giving you.

POWERSUPPLY:800 Watts Power Supplies [+88] (CyberPowerPC XF800S Performance ATX 2.0 Power - Quad SLI Ready)

Get a Thermaltake or Coolermaster PSU, no-name PSU's are bad.

SOFT1:Microsoft? Office Home and Student 2007 [+149]

If you're going to university next year, I'm sure your computer science department, or some place on your campus will sell you this cheaper. I saw it for $60 on redflagdeals.

UPS1: (Recommended) OPTI-UPS ES1000C 1000VA/700W Uninterrupt Power Supply [+149]

I have never needed a backup power supply myself. Personally I would save myself the $150 and not get it.

VIDEO:NVIDIA GeForce GTX295 1.7GB 16X PCIe Video Card [+505] (Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA)

Just because a video card is a GTX295 card doesn't mean it is the best NVIDIA card out there. The fact that it is a GTX295 is just the chip that is on the card, each manufacturer's GTX295s will have different performance levels. Find out what brand they will be giving you. Pick a good brand.

EDIT: And notice how torque guessed a price of $1600? Even he didn't think they would overcharge you so much. They're charging you $2360. Do what torque says and give him a budget; any of us could put together a computer just as powerful for much, much less than that $2360.

Wow thx guys Especially Giraffe, I am willing to spend MAX 2500 Dollars, This one Entertained me, But AMD and ATI are cheap and good, but Nvidia Is compatable with like 70% of all games, while ATI is 30% soo i like Nvidia even if its more expensive.

Mouse: Logitech MX518
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104178

Why this one? Because it is an amazing gaming mouse and 1600 dpi if thats what you choose to use is more than enough. This mouse has a very long warranty and you can replace it quickly. But, it's lasted me over 2 years so far and no issues. On the fly sensitivity adjustment is amazing and the side buttons are very nice.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823175104

Keyboards in FPS games aren't really that important. This keyboard does what a keyboard should, plus it has a sweet red lcd glow to match your pc's glow.

Price: $39.99

Headset: Steelseries 5HV2 (You can choose if you want USB or not)
http://www.steelseries.com/int/products/audio/5hv2/information

Why? Amazing gaming headset, excellent for music, and has a retractable mic so it doesn't get damaged while not in use.

Price: $89.99

Mousepad: Steelseries QcK+
http://www.steelseries.com/int/products/surfaces/qck/information

One of the best mousepads that I've ever used. Used by alot of pro gamers and is excellent when paired with the Mx518.

Price: $14.99

Estimated Total Price: $2,285

Hopefully you have someone you know that can put this together for. Building your own PC saves you a lot of money and ensures you get quality parts.

If I'm missing anything let me know! If you can spend more and want to, replace the 5870 with a 5970. That'll put you at $2,500, right at your budget. Plus, you won't have to crossfire in the future either, since the 5970 runs similar to crossfired 5870's.

Here's the link to the 5970: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102863&cm_re=5970-_-14-102-863-_-Product

Click to expand...

Btw, ATI and Nvidia run any game. Only difference is PhysX and even then it's an outdated necessity.
 
Go with Torques build.....its already been revised by us :)
and plus....it actually justifies the high price tag

I don't understand how ur computer came out to over $2,000 modern warfare and not have things like a SSD or good case. Probably cuz ur doing it from iBuypower or Cyberpowerpc

-I recommend everything in Torques build cuz hes around ur budget except i say get an ATI 5970 for $600 if you want or u can go with his 5870.
-Get a Logitech G15 from newegg for only $50!!!
-Get a Microsoft Sidewinder X8 mouse for only $65
or
-Logitech G500 if u want cheaper

Headset is all your choice, i like the Logitech G35 but its super expensive, has really good reviews though. Im personally using a Steelseries Siberia Full-size gaming headset and its great and stylish. Torques steelseries is better for just straight-up gaming though. Mine is like style/music/gaming mix

Otherwise, just get what torques getting lol
