I might decide to build my own pc but I'm not really sure what parts to get that would work well for gaming and are affordable. Here is a list of a few things i want to get.

Case: Not sure

Motherboard:GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Processor:AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor (is this processor any good and does the stock fan run well?)

Graphics: Radeon HD 4870 1GB

Power:OCZ StealthXStream OCZ700SXS 700W ATX12V

Hard drive:Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache

Memory:CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5

OS:Vista Home Premium 64-bit

I know I'm missing a few things but would this be a good build?

All of these things cost $741.41

if you are using quad core 3.0 and Vista 64 better double your ram at least
get the same ram but 4 x 2GB, you will have 4 slots to put ram in your motherboard

-----------
as long as you dont overclock the Fan that comes with the processor should be fine

mmmm ok would it be any different with the 32-bit version because i dont feel like spending much for ram (even though it's not that expensive lol).
Do you know any decent cases that would fit all of this stuff?

Wow I overdid the power. Twisted Evil

I'll use the one you suggested. It's all I need I guess.

I checked the price for the 260 and it is like the same as the 4870.

Wait I can get it for a special price of 60$ off of newegg + 2 games(COD WAW and Terminator salvation).

GTX 260? For $60?? + 2 Games?
Open box?

Yeah I'm kindof confused about that. When I put it in the cart it gave me the games offer and slashed the card's price.
$10.00 instant
$99.98 saving?
What does that mean?

Well anyway I got two really good deals today at newegg.

The lowest prices for the HD4870 and GTX260 after rebates are $117 and $145 respectively. HD4870s are smaller and run cooler, however are a bit louder in most cases than GTX260s. To be honest, with the latest driver releases, I'm not sure which one is the fastest of the two at the moment. Hmm.

EDIT: I see what you mean. Normally, apparently, the "free" games would be $50 each (see this and this), but the total price of the items would still be ~$160 before rebates.

EDIT2: Now with sauce.

I'm getting the gtx unless those savings are a mirrage. I'm pretty sure the card will fit in this case anyway so size won't matter.

Ahh ok I see.

Are good sound cards worth it or could you do without one.

get 8GB of RAM >.> I know what I'm telling you.. if you want a good gaming computer get the most RAM you can and a Video card that supports Nvidia/Ageia PhysX and CUDA, this both physics engines will rape your RAM but they are still in development, PhisX is already being used and CUDA is still in underground development but will be a complete success in games.

Ok I think Ive got everything.
