1 question before i post any recommendations, why wont you overclock?

 

[bored-sarcasm]

well for the gpu, im thinking 7800 series.

ram, 1g should be fine

hdd, 160g serial ata. look at wd, maxtor, seagate

ps, pc power and cooling if you have the $, if not, i have fsp 500w blue storm. i recommend it

$1500 is a pretty decent budget to make a good gaming rig

omz i dont wanna overclock because ive nvr done it before and this is my first rig, however in a year or two i may try it. Also ive heard overclocking could shortent he life of a product and i dont have alot of money (only 16 years old and ive been saving for a year, also dont have a job).
