Hi, I have a PHII 940 3.0GHZ with 4870 1GB but I'm experimenting some problems with the CPU/GPU temps because my room it's very hot

I need a PC for 2/3 years more and play some games like GTA, NFS, DiRT, FPSs but I'm very casual gamer I will use the PC for programming, video de/encoding HD, movies... etc...

I will buy the PC in amazon.com and I have 600$ ~ 650$ for:

CPU + CPU fan & Heatsink
GPU
MOBO with IGP
RAM (4GB)

Well I've seen some hardware and I have this for now:

CPU

what about drives? Optical (5-1/4") HDDs (3-1/2") SSDs (2-1/2") (Optional). You will need to invest in something to store your data as well, so be mindful of that. Also, have you had experience with buying from Amazon? some of their goods are outside proprietary goods, meaning amazon doesn't actually stock them, thus it's not their problem if a sub-par item is shipped to you. I've had problems with this time after time. Just a helpful suggestion. TBH, I do my research on Newegg.com and then go to Ebay and find a good seller who has reviews to support him, plus, you can find what you are looking for much cheaper. I've done this for around 5 computer builds, and my most recent, last year, totaled a $1500 build, but because of good timing and fortune on Ebay, I built the entire computer for around $950.

Thanks GiftedReflex

I have HDD, CD/DVD drives, case, etc...

Yes, I've buyed on Amazon, good experience with them, good attention, no problems for now, but I have $650 in Amazon gift card, so I can't buy on newegg or ebay..

I also compare, in fact my brain is broken now, many many reviews and newegg.com comparison and manufacturers companies sites...
