    The best approach is to first off determine your budget.

    Next choose a motherboard.

    I use Intel. Would never use AMD.

    The boards you list do not handle Core Duo.

    That would be a minimum for high end gaming.

    Anyway list a budget and what you need.

    Are you building everything or do you have some old parts to throw in?

    Let us know and we'd be glad to help!

    why u never use AMD, isnt it best for game because of the HT Speed ?
    i think it around 500 USD, all the thing will be new but dont have to be the most updated. Game most important is the video card so i think ill spend more on it, i dont listen to music when playing game do i need the sound card?

    Most motherboards have decent audio/sound built-in.

    I never used or tried AMD I guess because I just have a lot more respect for Intel as a manufacturer.

    $500 is going to be tough. I just helped another member and the best we could do was about $900-$1,000 for a gaming specific machine.

    Here for example I chose a motherboard; CPU; & graphics going as low as possible but still holding on to high end gaming capabilities:

    Asus P5B Core 2 Duo Intel P965 Chipset 1066MHz FSB Dual Channel DDR2 800 LGA775 Socket 775/T ATX Motherboard w/ PCI Express x16, Audio, GB LAN, SATA 3G/II, eSATA, RAID, USB 2.0 (Retail)

    Regular price: $161.99 Your price: $95.99


    Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe Dual-Core, 2.66GHz 1333MHz FSB, 4MB L2 Cache, EM64T, Virtualization, LGA775 Socket 775/T CPU Processor

    http://www.xpcgear.com/e6750.html

    Regular price: $219.99 Your price: $193.99


    Gigabyte 8800GT 256MB 600MHz GV-NX88T256H nVidia GeForce PCI-Express X16 Video Card

    http://www.xpcgear.com/nx88t256h.html

    Regular price: $219.99 Your price: $209.99
    So right there we have $500. You still need RAM; PSU; Hard Drive; case; DVD/CD.

    If $500 is going to be the budget though we can look at other options.

    As you say the graphics is most important. That 8800 GT is the cheapest of the 8800 models. You can go down to 8600's if necessary.

    Here is that other thread:

    I don't know much about e-bay. A lot of people build and re-build computers so I imagine they just try to get something for used parts. I am assuming they are used parts.

    i was thinking 500 for all the part , what kind of game will they be able to play on those equipment? Does the boards support the cpu speed , i look at them and the board only support Front Side Bus 1066 / 800 / 533 MHz , but cpu is Bus Speed 1333 MHz ?

    The CPU will reduce itself to the board speed but will run.

    You can get 1066 or 800 Core Duo as well. The full list is here:

    The system in the other thread will play anything that is out there today at full speed. As you reduce the hardware speeds and other specs you may need to set high end games at lower settings.

    As of today I'd say by high end games I am referring to less than 10% of all games.
