I am planning on building a computer in the near future primarily meant for gaming. As so, I want it to be able to run top of the line graphics on the most recent games without lag problems. My budget is about $800, adjustable based on deals or any parts I simply can't go without. This price estimate does not include a monitor, keyboard/mouse, speakers or software. I am located in the U.S. and I prefer to shop on Newegg, however suggestions are appreciated. I was able to get a suggested build from a friend of mine, so I was hoping to get any recommendations on whether or not anything should be changed, if I can get a better deal on a more effective product, etc., etc. Here's the list:
XFX Double D HD-687A-ZDFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814150521

(Questionable) Intel BOXDZ68DB LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813121527
Also, I appreciate saving money on package deals so those would be preferable over buying the parts separately (The processor and the Motherboard are a package deal right now on newegg so that's why I wasn't sure about the motherboard). As you might have noticed, this is my first build so I don't know too much about computer parts and lingo. Leyman's terms are appreciated
Thanks
