So I mainly use my PC as an all inclusive rig. I mostly use it for surfing the web, school work and my media center. My computer monitor is in my closet collecting dust because my computer has been hooked up to my HDTV for the past 4 years. It's ungodly old and upon me looking at the system requirements for Windows 7 I decided it was time to upgrade as my computer is 10 years old, the 2.4ghz P4 just isn't making the cut any more. Since my computer is hooked up to my Home theater system (which is a very high end system), I'm looking to build a computer that has great sound output (optical preferably) and good crisp HD video output. My budget is as cheap as possible but if I had to put a definitive cap $1K. I would like a system that can run games if I choose to start playing them on my PC again (opposed to my PS3) and that can multitask pretty well. The CPU/Mobo is my biggest part where I'm torn.
Here's the system I've put together so far:
