$1000 Mid-Range Gaming PC

Honestly looks pretty good, I would strongly recommend a second monitor for programming.

It says you don't need an OS, but you have one listed?

Woops, accidentally left that in.

Thanks for the suggestion, I might go with two monitors in the future.

If gaming @ 1080 I would look into a GTX 460 FTW 5850 6850 GTX 470 GPU

Next swap out the HDD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

rest looks good

I'll go with the Samsung drive instead of the WD.

I'm debating between the 6850 and the GTX 460, they seem to have very similar performance in most games.

Any more suggestions for this build?

nawp, only thing i didnt like was the hd, but thats been handled.

I was talking about the build I already posted.

he was referring to have you decided to change anything in your OP and if so what.

Oh, sorry about that!

Nothing has changed yet, except of course the HDD.
Any recommendations for a 1920 x 1080 monitor? I haven't bought one yet, and am looking for one in the 20" to 22" range(I have limited desk space).

Maybe something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

My build is in the mail!

I ended up changing a few things to save money with combo deals. I went with a P7P55D-e instead of the pro version. You only loose SLI support and a few features, so it's not a big deal to me. Also, I ended up going with the WD hard drive because it was cheaper than separately buying the Samsung drive and my RAM(which came with the combo). Finally, I got Windows 7 Pro instead of Home Premium.

Thanks

Thanks. I will definitely post back if I have any problems what so ever.

Just got my build done. Booted up first try, and loaded Windows 7 without any problems. It was a great experience, and I'll definitely never buy a Dell again, lol.
