Hi folks,

So after realizing my computer is severely outdated to game on high settings I decided to build my very own PC.

The thing is, is that, I know nothing.

I have a budget of 1000 and watched a few videos on YouTube and know I need the 8 essentials. Will I be able to get a great gaming experience from a 1k budget? I want to play dayz especially and I want to play it on high settings.

I don't know where to start. Any advice on parts etc would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have moniter keyboard mouse and that stuff so I won't need those but my old PC is a manufactured dell so I don't think I can reuse anything from there? So I'm guessing I need to start from scratch...I know nothing.

I really hope a 1k budget will be enough to truly have a great gaming experience.

Thanks for the list il look it over!

If you have windows 7 on your Dell you could save $100 and use that OS.
What is the resolution on your monitor?

This 984.99 PC also isn't a bad deal http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1531399 but you'll probably want an operating system and DVD drive.
