I don't know if this is possible or not, but I'm looking to build a decent gaming computer for $1000 max. I have windows 7, but I would probably need everything else including a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse. Nothing has to be absolutely top of the line, just looking for the best bang for my buck for a decent gaming build. I'm a broke college kid and just had my computer stolen, so please help me build something new for $1000 if that's possible. Thanks everyone!

I was looking at 120 gb SSD's because I honestly don't save that much stuff on my computer and if I ever needed more I could always buy an HDD.
