Will be using the onboard till early-november then get HD6950 Dirt3 1GB CrossFireX.
Do note that the board has only HDMI out. And take note that you get the XP version and not the Z68X.
You intend to OC ah?
What u mean by OC?
hi guys, kinda noob in these building rig thingy.
hopefully able to play bf3, l4d, dragon nest, black ops, in the highest setting.
already have a 27" hd ready tv as monitor. dont need keyboard nor mouse.dont plan to oc, cos no idea how to go about. only need the cpu.color dont matter.
now the main question is, whats the min price i would be looking at?
also what sort of configuration would it be?
please advice. thanks!
BF3 and the other games are on a totally different levels. I guess you will want to play BF3 at the highest setting first since that's what everybody is waiting for. Your tv resolution is at 1920 x 1200? I guess a reasonable to budget with mid-top tier items will set you back by about $1.5-$2k.

Good build and good to go. If the motherboard is out of stock you can go for Asrock H61M/U3S3. Go to PCThemes if you wanna have it installed there, or Bell system and best price if you don't mind paying a bit more if PCThemes is crowded.
