More Information

Hello I'm new and my friend told me about this site. He said this was the best site to come for help on computers.

I want to get a custom built computer that will be able to round th Source engine really good along with Battlefield 2. I will have a budget of around $800-$900 when I get the money. I already have the computer screen, along with the speakers so that should have me save some money. I'm just tired of my current computer because its at least 5 years old now. So what should be some good items I should buy?
