I've seen your other question with your own build. If it's completed with a power supply and operating system, the final price will exceed the $1100 mark. Here's a complete and serious suggestion for $800 that can run any of the latest games on high or even max. settings including BF3, Skyrim and the like.
Mobo - ASRock H77M LGA 1155 Intel H77 ($75) ram - G. SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 ($46) gpu - MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 2GB ($240) hdd - Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb ($100) opt. Drive - LG DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH24NS90 ($18) psu - OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular High Performance ($75) case - Antec Gaming Series One Black Steel ATX Mid Tower ($50) OS - Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM ($100) ...... no, I didn't forget the cpu.
And now hold your breath cpu - Intel Pentium G860 Sandy Bridge 3.0GHz ($90) total $794 (shipping not included) in order to not exceed the total of $800 I had to make a compromise. I've checked if it would be possible to play the latest games on high settings with a Sandy Bridge processor of the G8xx family and it turned out - it is! The G860 even meets the recommended requirements of BF3.
If you can stretch the budget beyond the $900 mark, it's up to you to get the i5-3570K. Games are not dependend on a super fast cpu but on a fast gpu.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
