Hello I'm look for help to find the best gaming computer I can build for 1000 to 1100$. I don't really need that big of a hard drive 500g should be fine no need for blue ray player or an optical drive I have 2 extras from my old computer already. But I would like a good processor, gpu and cooling system. those are my main concerns. It would also help to be easy to install seeing as this will be my first computer I've built. But im alright with electronics so not totally clueless. Please show me some good builds for my price range and the best place to buy parts. And any link to a good tutorial video on how to install all the part would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys and any advice would be great. Peace

Hey thank you guys so much you have booth been a great help. Will I want or need anything else to build it besides what's on the list? The pad you put on you CPU ( don't know the exact name of what it's called, Thermal gel ect. And I already have a hard drive so I was wondering if it will plug in to the new computer or will it need to be a specific brad or type of hard drive to plug in to the mother board? Thanks again

You probably will be fine with the hard drive you have and those are all the things you need for the build and as for the thermal paste the CPU cooler I provided comes with one

Great thanks again d4vo you have been a great help. I was going to buy a custom computer from ibuypower but I started reading reviews about them and it got me scared . So I figured that I couldn't mess up as bad as they have in most of the reviews I read. Even if I have never built a computer before. If you could put the difficulty of building a computer on a one to ten scale where would it fall? I just want to make sure I can build it without help from anything but the Manuals it will come with. I've fix my Xbox multiple times so I'm not totally clueless with electronics. Thank

Buying a PC from sites like that are always more expensive then if you buy the same parts and build the PC yourself. If this is your first time building a pc I would strongly recommend watching some pc building tutorials on YouTube or reading it on tomshardware. Because there are such a small things that you wont follow which can actually mess up your build. It is really not that hard after watching one pc building tutorial or reading on how to build.
