Hi
Ive been scouring the forums here for about a month, and Ive now come to the decision that I would like to build my first computer
So, budget is $1000 as the title suggests
COOLER MASTER Centurion 590 RC-590-KKR2-GP Black SECC / ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 650W Power Supply - I'm unsure about this, because of the PSU. It seems like a good deal, but I don't want a cheap PSU
Other than that, I have no real preferences, except it must be quad core and have an HD4870 1GB, or better GPU. A keyboard and mouse would be good too. I have a 19" LCD at the moment, but I will upgrade to a 22-24" in the near future, so the potential of the 4870 wont be wasted.
I do plan to overclock
No SLI/XFire please
I'm open to all suggestions
By the way, the budget can be exceeded by about $100-200, but no more than that.
All components must be available in the USA.
I think that's about it, but correct me if I'm wrong
Thanks,
Random
