Need help picking parts for a new mid range computer build. Need ideas. Keep in mind this is for gaming, thanks!

AMD for processor and gfx card then since they are cheaper.
4GB ram should be all you need.
4GB DDR3 RAM sorted from lowest price:

CPU: Core i3-2120, it is fast and easily overclockable. Great for any normal gameplay ($120)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 430, it is decent 1gig of GDDR3 memory and can handle most games pretty well. ($65) or if you have the cash try the Radeon HD 6850 better in all areas besides price ($150)

I will edit this later with more.

Lemme know if you have a specific processor or harddrive in mind, I can get my hands on both for pretty cheap.

Intel Core i5-2400

or Amd Phenom x4 960.

Hmm... well I can get the Intel for around $200, but the Amd, I guess, isn't that common here, and it'll cost a little over $210. I would personally suggest buying Amd online since I've found that specific model on Google shopping for much cheaper.

Boo flight! It's about the same price (or a bit cheaper) here in the states too!

[Flight]

Well quickly looked on Google and the Intel processors looked pretty expensive, even for that type, so I compared it to local prices and it seemed much cheaper. Oh well, nevermind about my offer then.

4GB of ram should be plenty for most things.
Better ram, same price:

He wants to runs lots of Simbas in it, I suggest dumping gfx for another 4 gigs of RAM.

He mentioned it was for gaming and I don't think he meant RS.

You can't buy a gaming computer so cheap now days =/

Everything is super expensive and he has few botfarms, just saying that if he is hosting one in it, a graphics card will be completely useless and that he is better getting a 4gb to 8gb RAM upgrade.

The end decision is up to him anyways and only he knows what he really wants. ^.^~

I am just setting out some options for him and don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with getting computers to run Simbas. Everyone is in their right to do so, I am saving to get myself a desktop to run Simbas on it to test my Slayer script and help with the new random system testing. It is a fact though that software mode runs entirely on the CPU, so a graphics card would be not be utilised were the computer going to be used to run few Simbas.

Go with an AMD, they are actually pretty good.
