1000 Dollar AMD CPU Gaming build
Can anyone piece together a Gaming PC under 1000 dollars, including the AMD 8350? I will do video editing, audio editing, and games like CoD, CoD MW4, etc. i do not need any peripherals. I would prefer all the parts to be purchased in one or two places, perferably Newegg and Amazon, But if the price jumps up too much, then other places are ok

I got exactly what you need. This will max out all games at 1080p and it is under budget (cuz tax and what not happens). It also has OS unlike the other builds.
