I've been looking around the site to see what is in my price range ($1000 ish), and based on that have come up with this build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/IdLh
Going to purchase in the next week or so and wanted to make sure everything looks good. First time building a computer- thanks in advance.
Budget Range: (1000-1200)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming.
Purchase Date: Sometime between this week and next
Buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: Main parts (CPU, mobo, RAM etc.)
Need to buy OS: No (unless Home Premium won't do)
Parts Preferences: Am on the fence for AMD & Intel
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (hopefully an Asus VX238H 23.0")
Additional Comments: Quiet PC, around 1TB HHD
Why Are You Upgrading: I need something more powerful than a 320M 256Mb, Dual 2.4GHz MacBook Pro
