Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131013
Customer choicex6 If your gonna go ddr2 800 do this one. No reason to short on the MB since its the core of your system. However if your gonna go 1066 memory youll need a better MB.
$140

Case
Really up you you. So many options to choose from. And everyone wants a cool case so ill let you pick.
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=7&name=Computer-Cases
Theres a link to where you can search for em. My advice dont get one w/ a power supply less than 500W and if possible go at least 600.
Mid or Full tower, anything less will be crampin it.
Ohh and dont go for too much LED if you keep it on at night it will keep you awake (learned form experience)
$30-$150

Power supply
As i Said earlier alot of cases come w/ power supplies as a discount. But heres a link to a 550W one thats decent.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182017
Might wanna look for something w/ a rear fan too to keep it cool.
$50
Windows XP...........Yes I recomend XP.
$90


With the low end build there your lookin at around $750-800. If you feel like spending more you will get more outa your system. That system should run conan pretty well on medium. And has SLI so if you hit the lotery you can invest in another graphics card (save the box of your old one though cause it has to be the EXACT SAME)

If anyone else has help/opinions I know we have alot of people in the guild good w/ computers so feel free to post in here.

Do not take the 8600gt. An 8600 is a 7600 with DX10 capabilities. 8800 would be excellent

I have had bad experiences with Rosewill PSU. you can't go wrong if the PSU has a SLI certification on it.

Yea the power supply was kinda a concern of mine. Mine is the hottest part of my machine and I have a rear fan. One pushing 600w w/o a rear fan will get mighty hot. Im considering getting a new PSU for the simple fact that mine gets hot.

My computer runs excellent on max graphics... i have very high FPS.... with max I have anywhere from 60 - 170 ( in certain instances) around 70-100 normally. Occasionally may drop to 40 in larger group battle, but your eyes can only see 30, I believe. I looked around a lot, my specs are in my sig. My video card is rediculous.... seriously. I am sure what I configured will be cheaper now too. I configured of cyberpowerpc.com system cost me $1800, but that was with other unneeded extras too, and a freekin sweet case. If you want any more info let me know.....
