You literally look at the parts names, and make sure the sockets match up, when creating your build list. Then putting it together is like a jigsaw puzzle with 5pieces.

What state/country are you from?
What games will you be playing, and what will you be doing outside of gaming?
Do you need a mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor, etc?

How about any other game such as Combat Arms, or CoD games..?

Are you looking to build your own? A system featuring AMD's A8 series Xfire'd with a HD6670 should do all that for you for around like $600 o_O
