1k$ or so Gaming Computer

Last response: in Systems
Share

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: To be a hundred percent honest, I might not buy this until the summer, but i could buy it this week.
BUDGET RANGE: Around 1000$, preferably lower. Price doesn't include shipping, and i didn't see any rebates on the parts i've looked at.

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies, and i don't do distributed computing.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, CD/DVD Drive.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS:I like NewEgg, as i live in the US(AZ),
but i'm open to other web sites.
PARTS PREFERENCES: None, this is my first build.

OVERCLOCKING:Maybe, last i checked overclocking a CPU runs it down quite fast, which will not fill my 5 year lasting hope.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE:Maybe, i figure in my price range i'd only be able to afford one GPU.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: Currently i can not give you the usual resolution i run my computer on as it's in the shop, but i believe it's 1280x1024.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'd prefer the thing to last about 5 years (As in, i could run a game released a week ago, five years from now, on lowest settings.). This is the best build i've found so far: Here

I got a 21 inch monitor, and thanks, i'll try those.

Also, is there any parts on that builod that could be cheaper and have the same quality, or any combinations that might not work?
