I'm looking for a high performance gaming PC build for $1000 or just a tad bit more, Wanting to play Blizzard games (WoW or Starcraft) on Ultra, BF4 Ultra (Extreme), etc, and still able to have room for improvements as time goes on. Also I want Windows 7 if that even matters to whom ever is going to reply (I have a 1TB harddrive that has Windows 7 on it). I live in the USA. Also, I have a Samsung SyncMaster Bx2250 2ms 1980x1080 LED monitor that I plan to keep using.
Need THE BEST $1000 Gaming PC Build
