Mid level gaming pc

[Jun aka Pekto]

I want to build a mid level gaming pc with a budget of 30k. As in complete system, input and output. Last time na nagbuo ako was 4 yrs ago with amd 64 bit 3000+ / palit 6600gt / ecs mobo / 1gb ram / 17" lcd and some other peripherals. I shelled out around 48k for that system.

Ngayon parang wala na akong idea sa mga kung ano yung mga lumabas na bagong vc,proc, and mobo.

Basta malaro ko lang yung mga latest games sa medium settings sa 1280 x 1024 resolution. last na nalaro was fear w/ almost all the eye candies turned on.

TIA

I'm in the process of building a mid-level pc myself. The motherboard of my Socket 939 AMD Athlon X2 4200+ went kaput recently.

This isn't finalized yet:
AMD Phenom II X3 2.8ghz Black Edition (boxed, retail)
GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX
XFX HD-487A-ZWFC Radeon HD 4870 1GB
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
Rosewill RCR-IC001 40-in-1 USB 2.0 3.5" Internal Card Reader
CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS

From newegg.com. After rebates, it's $497. The price of the HD 4870 will probably drop some more as the HD 5850 and HD 5870 become more available.

I'm using my older Aspire X-Cruiser case, hard drives, and dvd burner
