Build Me a System

[sqarook]

I want to build my first system, and I need to know what to buy. I'm going to be using this mainly for gaming and my budget is around $1000. I don't have anything worth salvaging on my current comp, and for anything HD I'm going to need a new monitor.

The case I picked out will give you the option but I'd say add that later on instead of initially.
