What is your budget? This config doesn't look good.

Ha ha that I jus tpost for fun for opinions I guess my budget will be about under 2k or maybe around 1.5k+ or 1.6k+

I will recommend this build:
CPU+MB: Intel Core i5-2500 + Biostar TP67B+ @ $386
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM DDR3-1333 CL9 4GB X2 @ $76
GPU: Sapphire HD 6950 2GB Dirt3 @ $379
HDD: Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB @ $68
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B3ST 24X DvDRW SATA @ $36
PSU: FSP Aurum 500W [80 Plus Gold] @ $115
CASE: Antec One Hundred Lite @ $75
Total: $1135
Optional upgrade: 120GB Intel 320 Series Gen3 SSD @ $308
Since you are using the PC for gaming,there is no need to get Intel Core i7.
Intel SSD is a bit slow but stable as compared to those SSD using sandforce controller.

Wow thanks erm mind adding me on MSN?And erm if I were to like use AMD instead of Intel will it be cheaper and whats the diffrence? :O

LoL and Blackshot are the most un-demanding games one can find out there.
Here's what I'd recommend, since you're working under a tight budget:
Core i3 2100
Asus P8H61-M
2x 2GB KVR1333D3N9
WD Caviar Blue 500GB
Sapphire HD5770 (A great card at a great price now)
FSP Aurum AU-400 PSU
Samsung SH-223C DVD Writer
CM 341 ChassisAnd of course, genuine Windows 7.
Should you need a monitor, do consider the Dell U2311H for $269. It may be costly up front, but the 3-year warranty and superior panel technology speaks volumes.
I will be able to build this entire system at your residence, for a nominal fee of just $35, excluding the cost of parts of course.
Additional items such as fans can be provided at slightly extra cost should you require them.
Please let me know if you're interested; I've sent you a PM in which you can find methods to get back to me.
Regards

Go for my build since you has the budget stated in your previous reply, you won't go wrong with this best bang for your buck PC.

i5 2500 and 2500k price not much difference, since he got the budget why go for 2500...even he doesn't overclock, but he might need the performance in future.
For the optional upgrade, the crucial M4/c300 will be a better choice. High speed and is stable too(non-sandforce). Normal home users do not really require the enterprise-like features of the 320 SSD.

Crucial M4/C300 SSD has high failure rate as compared to intel.
Intel 320 series SSD is recommended for most home users or for those whose budget can squeeze in a SSD.

ooo :O

All the games you play are barely demanding.
Heck, my Pentium D + HD4550 (a six-year old computer) maxes out L4D2 at 1440x900.

Maybe thats your point of view and how are them undemanding?

Why does the M4/C300 have a higher failure rate? The NAND flash used by Intel and Micron/Crucial are all manufactured by Micron.
So do you mean Micron firmware/ Marvell controller is lousier compared to Intel firmware and controller?
