$1000 gaming pc

[carsoncb]

I am building a gaming pc for around $1000. I have been configuring various components for a while now and I believe these are the best I can get for the money I am willing to spend. I will be gaming at 1920*1080 on the following games: Bioshock, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, DragonAge, Mass Effect 2, Starcraft 2, and Battlefield Bad Company 2. My main game will be Battlefield Bad Company 2 and since this is the main game, make sure to put more emphasis on those reviews. I plan to buy this week. I use Windows 7 professional.

^ Good build,...but why not a SSD instead of the HDD ? As you have enough space for storage, go with a SSD for boot...

And get this PSU + RAM

gkay I will try this system without an ssd and about 3 months from now I will buy an ssd to see what changes there are in overall performance. Thanks for that combo deal, gotta love the egg ^^ BTW I did look at the Lian-li, it was that or the antec and since the antec is on a little sale and a rebate I plan to buy that instead of the Lian-li. Any reason why the Lian-li is better?
