I'm wanting to build a computer in the middle of January 2010 for the purpose of hooking it up to my living room TV and sound system. I currently have a 5.1 DTS sound system and a 47" 1080p TV.
As of now, I'm not sure what my budget will be, but I know that I want the computer to be as future proof as possible. I'm thinking $1000-$2000. I do not have any parts, and so everything will have to be purchased including a wireless keyboard and mouse (thumb trackball... normal mice hurt my hand)... but obviously not a monitor since I will be using my TV.
The main focus and purpose of this computer will be for PC gaming. For example, I want it to run Shattered Horizon on max settings as well as any games coming out in the near future.
I realize I might be jumping the gun a bit with this thread, but I have been out of the computer hardware loop for about a year and so I want to start reading up on suggestions ahead of time.
Thanks in advance for any help.
