Need help building new computer

[computersickness]

Hi i am going to build a computer from scratch. Can someone please help me by giving me a list of all the items i would need to buy such as video cards, sound cards, mobo, power supply.....etc. I might use this computer for gaming, but not very often......Also can you list what is a good cheap kind of each item i need to buy and where to get it. ( This will be the first computer i will ever build.)The only gaming i will probably ever do on this computer will be counterstrike. The rest of the time i will use for web surfing and word etc......I live in the U.S.A. I'm not really sure how much i want to spend, but i dont want to spend over 1,000. I would like to keep the cost as low as i can. Also for gaming it doesnt have to be amazing graphics just good enough so that it wont be blurry. I would also use this computer for storing songs, copying songs onto cds, and watching and buring dvd. Thanks

seriously, dont cheap out if you are not on a budget because you're regret it later on


and... by blurry do you mean jaggies?

Ok Thanks! do you have any suggestions on parts. I would just dont want to spend a lot of money because im saving for something else. Also does a video card include sound or something?

 

[kof2000]

most motherboards has onboard sounds integrated.

O ok thanks, can you make a build for me if you dont mind. Can you keep it as low as you can though w/o making it a horrible computer

 

[kof2000]

you can build a midrange pc with 1000.

what games do you play or plan on playing.

 

[computersickness]

I dont really want to spend 1000 dollars. I want to keep the costs low. The only game i will ever play will prob. be counterstrike.

 

[diduknowthat]

you can build a low end budget gaming PC for about 500 bucks (don't expect miracles though, but it will play CSS).
