This is going to be my first time ever building a comp, so i am going to need some suggestion on what products to buy. I would like to try to keep the price under $1000. I plan on using this rig for gaming, higher end graphic games like Oblivion etc. I am not a hardcore enough gamer where i would want every setting maxxed, i just am looking for a system that will be able to run the newer games on decent settings for the next couple of years.
I already have the monitor, speakers, sound card, keyboard and mouse. I also have a case from the 8200 dell dimnesion series if i could use that.
For the video card i was looking at the Radeon x1800xt 256/512mb or the Geforce9700s. I was hoping to probably get around 2GB of ram if it can stay in my price and probably about a 100-200gb harddrive. Now im really not sure what type of motherboard i should get, but for processor i was thinking along the lines of an Athlon. Basically i really have no clue what i could get for or under $1000. Any help would be great. Thanks.
