Hello Forum. I was thinking of making a custom computer. preferably gaming but affordable. since im 16, i don't know much on the right or good specs, as long affordable.

so i was thinking of this

nVidia GeForce GTX 460
2 or 4 GB DDR3 RAM

500GM WesternDigital HDD (cannot afford sdd  sweat.gif)
Logitech Gaming Accesories (keyboard + mouse)
UniFi Broadband
Some things I need your help and recommendation

thanks tristan. but how about the cooling fan and its price?

Processor comes with fan heatsink. I've also included 12cm fan for intake to improve the cooling. It should be around RM25 or less.

Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB (HD103SJ) is RM170 and Leadtek GTX560 Ti is RM849. Also, switching the power supply to Silverstone Strider Essential 600W for GTX560 Ti is recommended. Viewnet sells it at RM279.

FPS is frames per second. Higher is better. Average less than 40FPS is not recommended.

Nope, even more expensive Phenom II x6 1100T BE gets raped by i5 2500/2500K.
