Hi all, I plan on pulling the trigger for most of these today since a lot of sales and rebates end today, but I just wanted to see if this build is okay for a first timer. General usage will be gaming, internet, etc. Hopefully it will last me a decent amount of time. My budget is ~$900-$1000, but I need windows 7. Also debating whether or not I should get a new monitor since my old one is a 6 year old 19 inch Dell. Thank you!
