With a budget of $1000 you can build a great rig (even under 1k).. these are just IMO some good choices… you don’t have to directly go with these.
CPU – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727&cm_re=amd_phenom_ii_x4_965-_-19-103-727-_-Product – You can overclock the SHIZ out of this processor…. Really wish I waited a month or so and got it while I could. MOBO – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128395&cm_re=ma785g-_-13-128-395-_-Product
RAM – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231193&cm_re=g.skill_ddr3-_-20-231-193-_-Product
Graphics Card (You can either go Nvidia or ATI… I always choose ATI due to preference & early release of DX11) – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447&cm_re=ati_radeon_5770-_-14-150-447-_-Product
PSU – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005&cm_re=corsair_power_supply-_-17-139-005-_-Product
Heatsink – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233003 or Freezer 7 Pro.
That should be it… don’t think I forgot anything. Remember, these are just some examples/opinions of mine to show you
Happy building!

Ewwww… NEVER buy pre-made PCs if you’re looking to game. All the parts I listed are 100% better, and I think the total price is even cheaper than that POS.
Building a PC isn’t hard, I built my first one in under 2 hours. You just have to know the basics of a PC, etc.
Overclocking is a whole different story… I’d worry about Overclocking when you actually built the PC.
yeah thats true, well let me keep on checking on the site, and i’ll PM u , so the AMD proccesor is good uh? PS: i dont live in the us, so i have to let it ship to miami, where there is a industry taht ships to my palce, and i ahve to pay taxes here wihc is 5% and hten put another 50$ for shipping and stuff:) and i dont have that much money so go easy on me:P
o i also need Everything, like lcd screen and stuff such as that ,
AMD is very good for their prices (what you were looking for). Intel is the best performance, but they cost much much more. If you want to switch over to Intel you have to get a different MOBO then I recommended that supports Intel CPUs. And yeah, I understand about your money situation.
well. what im looking for is, good performance, mostly editing videos, i love that , i dont need intel, i know they better, but still they expensiver ofc:P i would love a okay performance desktop with power, i dont mind if its ugly , as long its cool
Well, you mentioned gaming so I automatically assumed current-gen/next-gen gaming.. So I got you the best possible gaming specs, for the best price.
Is it too expensive, or are you looking for less since you won’t be gaming much?
i wont be gaming that much, i have not really that much time , idk i have seen another proccesor, they okay for me to think, idk the difference between them, but i’ll just got with a 3core, i read u can overclock it or unlock it into a 4core anyway, and stuff like that
so tell me what do i actually need, lets say im from 0 now, i’ll need case
motherboard
CPU
RAM
power suply ? right? video card
lcd screen
fans? idk i hate this things, i need some cooling system that are good , my laptop overheats too much keyboard+mouse tell me i really need some help:P
Yeah, I forgot a case too in my OP Fail..
Anyways, here’s just some recommendations, you can look em’ up later and compare to others if what you want. So no gaming, alrighty then.
Case – You can either go with a good COOLER MASTER or Lian Li.. Both great cases for low price.. I think they’re like $99 on Newegg.
MOBO – Anything Gigabyte, really. AMD or Intel, you pick.
CPU – AMD or Intel, take your pick. AMD for very good performance, and still a good price… Especially since you won’t be gaming.
RAM – Eh, since you won’t be gaming just go for generic cheap 4GB DDR2/3. Take your pick.
PSU – Depends on your hardware in the end.. But since no gaming, 500w will do fine.
GPU – Eh, since no gaming… Just go for a 4x series ATi… Or a 9800GT, something along the lines of that.
Monitor – Depends, I’d go for an Acer or Dell.. Fans – Doesn’t matter, you won’t be gaming.
Keyboard/Mouse – IMO doesn’t matter either since you won’t be gaming.
well i’ll be gaming just not much, i’ll do my pick at ngiht and put htem on here for u to check if its good enough for still game or not so maybe a heat sink will be good?
Well since you’ll be gaming.. Case – You can either go with a good COOLER MASTER or Lian Li.. Both great cases for low price.. I think they’re like $99 on Newegg.
MOBO – Anything Gigabyte, really. AMD or Intel, you pick.
CPU – AMD or Intel, take your pick. AMD for very good performance, and still a good price… I’d recommend the CPU in my sig… It’s a triple core, but if you get lucky like other people/myself you can unlock the 4th core and essentially make it a quad core (as long as it passes stability tests, cause not all are stable)
RAM – G.Skill DDR3 2x2GB.
PSU – Since you’re going to game, I’d recommend a 650w+. GPU – Depends on the games, really. For newer-gen games/next-gen.. Might as well hop on the 5x ATi series bandwagon, or go GTX 2xx series.
Monitor – Depends, I’d go for an Acer or Dell..
Fans – For heatsink, Freezer 7 Pro or others.. Take your pick. Don’t know much about Heatsinks/Cooling. Stock Cooling is definitely fine though unless you plan on HEAVILY overclocking. Keyboard/Mouse – Razer Lachesis, or Razer Copperhead (good gaming mice) have one myself… Keyboard, a Logitech or Saitek.. Doesn’t matter, unless you’re a heavy gamer.
okay check my pick http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073

so do i need sound card? speakers? anything else do i need? except a webcam:P
HD is good, WD is a great manufacturer so you won’t be disappointed. Monitor you can go bigger & better for a little more – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009201 1600×900 is an odd resolution, but if it works for you.. Get the monitor you picked out.
Keyboard – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126054
RAM – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231207
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.333207 Is fine, but be careful with that case… It’s cheap, and cheap cases with expensive hardware don’t always work out.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.325927 Perfect, I’d recommend XFX > Sapphire though, because of their extended warranty.. But that’s just me.
so do i need sound card? speakers? anything else do i need? except a webcam:P
Nope, sound cards come with MOBOs… I wouldn’t waste money on a sound card unless you’re a professional gamer, and you need to hear footsteps easier. Speakers, I don’t know… Creative, Insignia, tons of brands.
monitor too expensive:P , and case, i’ll check for a better one later at night let u know , and hte RAM uhm they are DDR2 800mhz so the other ones are better i think, they 1333 so i think thats best right? so u saying hte cpu and motherboard are good? right:D so thats everything i need to asamble my desktop right?

Keyboard & Mouse –> Find one in a store near you. (Best if you have warranty at a store near you)
I wish you had a monitor and the peripherals already :< It’s past your limit by 3% but this computer will fit your current needs and more. If you want, you can swap out the GTX 260 for a 5770 which then you would be right on budget… with the exception of the mouse and keyboard. Mice and Keyboards are quite cheap these days and you can find decent (and new) ones for less than $10.
GPU – Sapphire 5770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102858&cm_re=5770-_-14-102-858-_-Product
Total(with GTX 260): $1,034.92 + the shipping that you stated.
Total(with 5770) $1004.92 + the shipping that you stated.

Memory varies- The highest speed for DDR2 memory as of today is @ 1200. Generally speaking: higher speeds = more money so in the end, it’s just a money factor (and what your motherboard supports.) The memory I picked out for you is the Corsair XMS3 DDR3 @ 1600 (2 x 2GB) and your motherboard supports said memory.
