Ok, I need help.
I plan on building a new gaming PC, but I dont know much about what I should get. So maybe you guys could help me out :)

I want to be able to play games like F.E.A.R, Wow, Oblivion & more.
I want this PC to last me a few years befor I start having to replace things so..
Im willing to spend around $2500 and I have a monitor, keyboard/mouse, & speakers already.


Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks for reading.
