Any suggestions? I'm really trying to stick to a $1,000 limit
I'm not really sure about the motherboard or powersupply
And I'm not sure about the graphics card since it is a pretty small case I'm worried about heat. I will mainly use it for games like Battlefield 3, Crysis, Bioshock which is the reason I picked the 7950 over a 660ti since it came with Crysis and Bioshock for free. This is my first post so I'm open to suggestions. kthx
