Additional Comments: This is my first attempt to build a PC. I'm a little afraid of spending almost a grand on parts to build a system. Although i have some experience working on PC's so i should be able to build one.

I was thinking of buying this newegg combo and just add a graphics card.

That combo looks good and has good parts. HD 6870, HD 6950, or GTX 560 TI are good choices for a graphic card.
