Help! Totally New! Will this build work???

[1fast8]

Hey, i dont know much about computers and i will be buying a new computer by the end of this week.
I was just wondering if you guys can help me with this build. I'm ordering from ibuypower.com because it seems to be the most affordable and all. I will mainly be using this pc for Gaming, Music, Movies, Browsing the Web etc.
I want to be able to play World of Warcraft on it as well as the newer games coming out (starcrat 2, diablo 3), but i still want it to be able to hold my music and my work. Help is appreciated. I would like to stay within the $1,000 budget give or take a couple hundred more.

Aw man. I'm really lost. Help?

 

[Proximon]

There you go. That will do everything you need for under 1K.

thanks for the help but.....i'm guessing i have to build this myself =?...I was hoping to order it from a website that builds it for me . Is there a way you can help me fix it from the ibuypower website?

I did forget to add one important thing... the OS:

it is cheaper, but i don't want to go through the headache of building one by myself (i have never done it before)

 

[Proximon]

So find some help

Well if you don't want to build it yourself then use the setup proximon gave you and set up something similar on ibuypower.com, but of course you're going to spend a little more than 1k even if you lower the CPU to a 7200. At least buy the monitor, keyboard, and mouse separately since you can get them cheaper than what ibuypower will charge you and you have to hook those up yourself anyway ^_^

A lot of people are afaird of building their own pc. I can agree that the setup Proximon gave you is a very good build and all the parts are comptable. It is truely a fun adventure to build your first PC. Yes its scary but the amount of money you save and the satisfaction you get saying I built this is worth it alone. There are lots of vidoes and walkthroughs on how to build a PC. Just google it and watch a few. Maybe even look inside your current computer and determine if you can start idenifing the parts that are within it and what they do.
