    Hi there my first time posting in these forums so please bear with me. I am in the process of building a gaming rig. The two games which I am most likely to play are Batman Arkham City and Battlefield 3. I may play a bit of WoW but that's not such a demanding game (can play it on my Macbook Air). I also need a Bluray drive.

    So far I have selected the following components.
    Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131797
    CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103942
    RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820104231
    HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822148725
    Bluray Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6827106374

    I am yet to select a GPU can anyone make a suggestion? Also would these components I have selected so far play these games well? They don't have to play at like 100fps but as long as these games are playable (perhaps 30-40fps) I'm fine with it. I also haven't selected a case because I'm having some trouble finding one which is black but has no LED lights. My budget is $1000 but I may be able to go a little higher.

    I also may throw in a small SSD to run the OS and one or two games off if my budget allows.

    Thanks so much for your time. I hope to be able to contribute to these forums in the future.
