I am looking to build a new computer for gaming and not looking to go crazy so my price cap is about 800$

I've got a monitor, and extra harddrive, keyboard, mouse, etc.

Do not need a sound card.

Just want a mobo, cpu, case, ram, etc. This machine is for gaming purposes only, I may even go as high as 1000$ but thats about it.

Thanks
