Unfortunately, I do have a budget of around $800-$1000 USD($1,000 is pushing it). I have no idea where to begin. After reading about intel vs AMD, I feel intel is where to go. Can I get some help on building. I mainly play LoL and Arma 2, but would like something that can play BF3 and other games well, also. Thanks for the help.
