Q. I've decided to build a computer for gaming though i don't want to customize it on some website,
there are many other posts about this kind of thing i realize
i just want one MORE RECENT (2012 february-march)
So the price cap is about 1000-1200 dollars,
i COULD go over that but it would take me a bit more time to get the money so i would have to be prepared for the computer to last longer to account for that time :)
So I'm looking for a comp that can run all the new games etc. etc. decent amount of ram, at least 6 gb
NOT Looking for the monitor, keyboard, mouse just the computer
sorry I'm dragging this on but i don't want to edit this post a million times :P
If it helps, i would be running 2 klipsch-thx speakers and a subwoofer, so i dunno if that has anything to do witht eh sound card...
So really I'm looking for a complete set up, like if someone out there could list all the different parts/specs of parts i should get but whats most important to me is SPECIFIC parts as i am not that great at rummaging to find compatible hardware
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I already have Windows 7 Ultimate that i can put on another computer just a heads up:)
ALSO
I made an email for this
PLEase if anyone is willing to further help me as I'm sure i will run into problems

Now I put a solid state drive there for your boot drive and any main programs you will be running, any media I would put on a second drive that is a normal HDD like 1TB or more, they are pretty costly and your selection is limited still with things still being cleaned up in Thailand. expect to pay another hundred or so depending on the size, just read reviews and pick one. I'm not sure what you will be doing graphic wise but the first card should be more than sufficient, and if not its an easy upgrade. You could go the Intel route but I prefer AMD and that 8 core processor is nuts. You could also get an after market fan which is another $50 or so. but all in all those all solid top of the line products with all the latest technologies, you will be future proofed for a very long time and you have plenty of room for upgrading if a new processor comes out or something. also you will need a copy of windows unless you already have one which would set you back another $100. also in benchmarks the AMD effects blows away the I5s and anything in the price range.

Suggestions for A Solid Gaming Computer?
Q. As the title suggests I am looking for a computer mainly just the "tower" that can play pretty much whatever I throw at it relatively well. I am not talking like Crysis 2 on Max setting and what not but something that I know can play the majority of games and ones in the future well.By future I also mean to the sense that the system would be fairly easy for a novice with a screwdriver to learn and be able to upgrade graphics etc.
I also plan on taking the system off to college and eventually a apartment. So I need something lightweight and compact but also durable. I plan on using the system for awhile and it is going to be an investment as well. Which is why I do not plan on purchasing a gaming laptop. Most have gotten better with durability but they are expensive and still very fragile so I would rather stick with the time proven Tower model :D
I was originally looking at the Alienware X51 when it was on sale. The way I customized it came out to about $600+ or so of course but I missed the boat on that D:. If there is something similar on the market. I know a lot of people feel that alienware aren't great gaming systems anymore. Personally I am not very informed to the different systems, customizing etc.
But it won't be solely for the purpose of gaming. So I would have MS Word, PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator etc for working purposes etc. A gaming computer wouldn't have any problems with these programs but it's just for reference in case anyone has any suggestions on computer that may not be Gaming specialized but could still play them relatively well.
Price wise I would rather not go into thousands of dollars. I am a 17 year old making $7.50 a hour mind you :P (So a little more than $100 a week give or take a few hours extra pay).
I am also open to the idea of building my own PC. I heard it is cheaper to a degree. So if anyone has suggestions on parts, prices and building guides and suggestions I am open as well.
Just remember I am a novice after all :D
Thanks Everyone!

A. Hi, I think building your own desktop computer is definitely the way to go. If you are thinking about portability check out the Lanboy cases from Antec which have grips on the top and are sweet modular cases that will also be durable. You can customize the computer components to exactly the type of performance you are looking for and can upgrade if necessary. Like you said it is a good idea to get a machine that is slightly better than the standard requirements right now so that you don't have to upgrade soon. With a $1000 budget you can get a great machine, maybe using an Intel i5 or AMD FX-6200 processor and similar level components. Plus building your own machine helps you understand computers better and what is important. Most cases do not even require a screwdriver except maybe for the motherboard standoffs!
