Hey everyone. I've been looking to upgrade to a new system for a while now, and my plan is to be able to play the most recent new games on high (medium at the very least) settings. My budget is around the $800 to $900 range, and does not include mouse/keyboard/monitor/OS/etc.. I am also not interested in overclocking, so motherboard choice does not need to be top line.

My issue is I don't know where to even start as far as what I should be looking at. I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions on where I should begin. Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing from you.

*Edited* Just to add as a minor preference, I would rather stick with Nvidia for graphics, as I have had issues with ATI in the past that have put me off to that type of build. Thanks again.

FYI ATI cards no longer exist, AMD bought ATI out so now they are AMD cards. Just a little tip but I do favor Nvidia cards so there are no worries there :p
