Greetings,

So beginning of the new year I'll be getting a third paycheck and this is my time where I wanna build me a gaming rig. My brother has built his, and I helped my girlfriend build her's. My current computer is 5+ years old and it is a Pentium Duo core and I've just had it and with new games coming out on the market I can't really play them.

I'm mainly wanting this for MMO's I'm not interested in any really heavy computer intensive games. So I would like this build to last me for a few years :)

This build will need to include windows. I already have: monitor, keyboard & mouse. Another favor I ask is please don't have "cheap X of this" I've read builds like that and it has me second guessing what part to buy. Thank you for your time! :)

If your not building this until next year than I suggest waiting until the end of December before asking for a build that way we can give you the best deals available at that time.

Damn.. If I were to order all of this stuff from Newegg would be over $900.

Sorry I got back to you so late.

I can edit the build so it only shows deals through newegg. Also if you still plan to buy at the beginning of next year than prices will probably be very different than today.

Not a problem. Soonest I could order it would be the beginning of December. And I'm not worried about the best deals just within my budget. Cause new parts come out often.. I'm wanting this to run smooth at 1080p also with skype in the background and for newer MMO's coming out next year.

Thanks!

Well that build should do everything you want it to. But it would still be a good idea to ask around a week before you buy because there could be better alternatives at that time.
