ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Hello, I am new to building computers and I have been researching them for the last month or so. I still have many questions regarding which CPU Motherboard or video card to choose due to the vast arrange of options currently on the market. I need to stay under $1000 and I would like a build that I can upgrade over time, ex: from 2GB RAM to 8GB.
As far as overclocking goes, as I stated previously I am new to building computers and only know a little about this. If someone can explain the basic process of overclocking and what to change each of the specs to that would be great.
The games I plan on playing on this computer include counterstrike, Modern warfare 2, etc. I'm not sure what the best FPS on these games are but I would like to be able to get close to it if not max it out at some points.
This will be my first attempt at building a desktop and I want to be sure that I have all the best parts for the price I am willing to pay.Any feedback or information you have is appreciated. Thanks
