Hello, I'm new to the forums and I need help finding parts for a budget gaming PC. I tried to build a gaming PC back in 2009 but real life and college got in the way and I only ended up getting the case and graphics card before I stopped so I need help finding the remaining parts and components for it.

Here is what I have:
Case-Cooler Master Cosmos 1000
Graphics Card- Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5 CrossFireX Ready

My budget right now is $600-$800 right now. For the monitor I plan on using 1 I already have from a previous PC. I plan to use to play games like Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2 in high settings if possible.
Any help would be appreciate it. Thank you :)

If you are nearby a microcenter brick-and-mortar store see if they have the 2500k/z77 combo it can save another $40 (a really killer deal), wasn't sure about the OS, keyboard and mouse so I threw them in (the mouse is very cool)

hope it gives you some ideas (along with others' comments as well)

cheers

Awesome, thanks for the advice. I shouldn't have any trouble with the motherboard and the video card since the video card is a couple years older, right?
