Hey All,
I want to build a computer for gaming, mostly League of Legends, Civ 5, and probably the new Splinter Cell: Blacklist game. I'd like to be able to comfortably run all of these at high setting but I won't be using the computer for video editing or anything like that. Anyone know of a good build for around $900 with a monitor and OS

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Whenever, within the next couple of months though

Budget Range: $800-900 before shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly Gaming, Internet (obviously), some school work

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Parts to Upgrade: Brand new system, no parts

Do you need to buy OS: Yes (On a side note, I found a site selling windows 7 for $75 here: http://www.discountmountainsoftware.com/miwi7hoprfuv6.html
anyone know if this is legit or not?)

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Anything and everything within the US

Location: Southern California

Parts Preferences: Would prefer Intel but is an AMD equivalent is cheaper, I'm more than willing to go with that

Overclocking: Will I need to Overclock to play the games I listed before?

SLI or Crossfire: Same as above

Your Monitor Resolution: I don't even know what a good resolution to have is anymore, anything that fits my budget

Additional Comments: Like I said before, playing LoL, Civ 5, Splinter Cell, and other random games. Won't be playing Battlefield or anything

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Want a good gaming rig for home

Would I be able to go with a 6850 instead of the 7850 GPU? Your build comes out to around $1000 with monitor and OS which is a little out of my price range... Would the 6850 run those games with high settings or would I need the 7850?
