Hey,

I'm looking to buy a new computer in the near future and I need some help choosing parts. I'll be using this for pretty much gaming. If anyone could help me through Msn or Aim that would be great. Thanks in advance.

What is your budget and what exactly do you need (monitor, keyboard, os, etc.)

Tell us more about you and you will get more complete answers.

you can change out the psu for a cheaper one, but id rather be safe and comfortable with it. I also went with a slower ,albeit mucho cheapo, cpu b/c it should be easy enough to over clock to a faster speed. I also have a sub 800 AMD build, but the cheapest intel build i have is 1500 =/

Thats a pretty good computer for $1000 and will be a nice gamer, the only thing i would change would be to get a Corsair 520w PSU or a OCZ 600w GameXStream PSU, and i prefer Corsair much better over OCZ like this here
