Well I have been vacillating back and forth between building my own computer and buying one premade from either Costco or Bestbuy/Circuit City. My price range is around $1100 including monitor. I plan to use it for gaming and media i.e. watching media on my TV. I already have a copy of Vista Business Edition. Well here is what I am considering as far as a build.
