Alright well my budget is $1000

I already have a keyboard, ATX full tower case, monitor, and mouse. Just need the rest. Any ideas of what should I get?
 
Yes American dollars.

Yes I need a OS Win7 should be good.

Ummm I heard that newegg sells some pretty good stuff. The stores in my area charge to much.
 
Sounds good. I'll have a build up pretty quick.

Sorry I replied late.

I'm kinda looking for

i7 Cpu
1000w psu
8GB of Ram
5770 gpu(don't know what brand to get)
1TB Hard drive
A good brand motherboard
 
Hows this :)

If you want an i7 system with what you put above you might want to spend a bit more... putting 8gb on the list goes way way over budget....i dont realy think you will need all that ram so i choose 6gb for your build....also you didnt mention if you needed a case or not?

Also 1000W Psu....total overkill and again pumps up the price like theres no tommorow.

But yeah....you could lower the cost but you will need to get not so high end stuff....go down on the mobo....get a smaller hdd etc.

not a thread hi jack sorry. haha gooberman you always make me laugh, your damn default picture and your sigs BAhaha! :D

I agree drenlins set up is great. But if you go with whats in my sig, its about 900 with tax and shipping (this is of 3 weeks ago). And instead of the 5770 that was mentioned, for the 900 build I have down there you can get a 5850 :good: :good:
