if u have 1000$ with u....and u need a gaming machine from scratch...what would be ur built ????
it must include everything...the whole cpu,speakers,lcd,keyboard,mouse,any other periferal u wish to have !!
I would want twice that for a "dream" build. Going to have a hard time squeezing an i5 and strong graphics into that budget if it still needs a monitor.
I think I would go with an i5, 5770 and 22inch 1680x1050 monitor.
You can get a basic system with enough juice to play today's game on high and the next gen on lowered detail.
I'm thinking a budget-friendly AMD quad core, an ATI 4890, a decent case and PSU, a Samsung HDD, a decent motherboard, a not to expensive 21-22" monitor and peripherals.
So you can get a good quality PC, but a dream machine? No way...
My build cost nearly $1000, (top to bottom) it does what I need it to do, but it is a long, long, looonnnnngggggggggggggg ways from what I would consider a "dream build".
I would need to budget about $3's to really make what I would call "my dream build". Some of you would probably need more than that.

Drop to a 20 " Monitor it will help a bit with FPS in games and up the GPU to a 955, With the changes it will add 26 bucks past your 1K but you get 35 in MIR
Pretty nice rig there. I myself am torn. At this budget I think an i7 is out of the question, specially since we need keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor. So it would really come down to the i5 or a Phenom II. Not sure which way I would go actually. Probably i5 because DDR3 ram, vs DDR2 of Phenom II.
Radeon graphic cards aren't really my thing. I can never pick out good ones with them. I'm more of a geforce kind of guy.

You could get a i5 750 setup for 83 more then that AM# build with the same setup so 1083
If you live by a mircocenter you can save 50 off the CPU
Does anyone know how to make an i5 build for this price? Yes with everything.
Its not hard to make an i5 with everything for $1000 as long as you stick with a microATX motherboard (no xli/crossfire), a 5770, a 1680x1050 monitor and cheap logitech mouse, keyboard and headset.
