Here is the best Budget decent gaming PC I can give you at that price range and I wouldn't recommend anything less bec for me "decent" means that you will be able to play ALL GAMES on high-max settings with the appropriate resolution.
What I have given you is the I3-2100(best budget gaming processor) and the HD 6850 (best budget GPU) that can let you play all games on high settings, some on max settings (depending on resolution and game requirements).
The HD 6850 is currently ranked #15 overall in benchmark, a step higher than the GTX 560 (ranked #16) yet significantly much cheaper =P
BTW, the monitor is 1080p
Glad to help =P

Price and setup building a gaming computer?
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.
