Hi
A lot of people tell me building a PC is worth it's price and you can specifically choose your parts which is great. I want to make a PC that has high end parts like the i7 16gb of ram and a good graphics card but I'm not sure of all the parts I need. I know you need a case, graphics card, hard drive, and a processor. Also if you know specific parts that are good that would be helpful. My budget is about $1000 and I already have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor so the money is all in the PC not the keyboard or mouse.

Thank you for the quick and helpful replies. I think I know what I need now and the video showed me a lot. I think I will go with the i5 4670k. Also what is the difference between a 4670k and a 4670? Is one over lockable and one isn't?
