Q. I need a good gaming computer that will last and play very nice and runs everything fine, I have 1000 to spend, please do give suggestions. For what games you may ask, like Rift on ultra settings, WoW on highest settings, my point is Plays nice and runs nice and all.
Ah I might try and build it then, but wait wouldn't I need to buy like windows 7 over again or something?

A. From personal experience, the BEST computer is a custom built PC. You get FAR superior build quality if you put the hardware together yourself than a factory laborer. Not only that, but the end user (you) is the one choosing what goes in the computer.
I strongly suggest building your computer. With proper research and knowledge, anyone can build a PC. From anecdotal experience, I built my first computer when I was 15 years old (I was half clueless about computers back then) and it's still living and breathing today! My point is, you do not have to be an highly skilled expert or a computer repair guy to be able to build one.

im trying to build a gaming computer that can play Eve online Rift fallout, Elder scrolls ect.?
Q. i only have 900 dollars to build or buy it please help!!!!!!
A. I am personally an Intel/nVidia fan. AMD/ATi stuff can be cheaper, but I have found, in the long run, it has more conflicts with software and certain graphics engines that are in use today. Plus, CCP is in major cahoots with nVidia as far as future game development goes.
Two of my favorite sites for buying parts:
http://www.newegg.com and http://www.tigerdirect.com
Newegg is going to be cheaper and tigerdirect is more likley to have something in stock.
A minimum is the new Intel series of iCore processors. Now, you can easily get by with a Core2Quad processor, but it's not THAT much more for the latest generation i5 processor. And, at least 3.0GHz.
Also, the GT4xx sereis of nVidia cards. Again, the GT2xx series cards would do, but it's not that much more to get the 400 series. At least 1GB video card memory.
At least 8GB system RAM. If you want to spring for the fastest system memory, go ahead, but 1333MHz memory should be fast enough for a while.
HDD capacity is up to you. I know modern drives are in 1TB+ range, but unless you're going to be doing some serious video editing or something, 500GB will easily suffice. You could setup a few 100GB drives in a RAID system, but that's if you're geeky enough to get it all configured.
CD/DVD drive. No more than $20--unless, for some strange reason you have to have a Blu-Ray computer system. I watch Blu-Ray movies on my big TV, not on my computer monitor. But, the choice is yours.
Case; Something with LOTS of fans [NOT lights]. The more the better. LOTS of airflow. Screw cases that light up. The lights on the inside of your case do nothing for performance. I do not care how the case on the side of my desk looks. I care about how the stuff inside it performs and how what it puts onto my monitor looks.
Power supply: at least 650W and to help with room, go MODULAR!!!!!. It is such a pain to have a case with fans and good airflow, just to block it all by stuffing unused power cables off to the side.
Monitor: some will argue bigger is better, but I find that isn't the case. The bigger the monitor--just like a flat screen TV--the further away you have to be from it to make it look good. Most affordable monitors are going to have 1920x1080 [or High Def] resolution. That means 1080 dots from top to bottom by 1920 dots from side to side. Now, for a better picture for anything, the smaller the dot you use to make up the picture the finer the detail it is going to have. So, do you want 1080 fine dots in a 23 to 24inch monitor or 1080 big blocks in a 40 inch monitor? Keep your HD TV big, not your monitor. Not in your budget but, there are 32+ inch monitors that go well beyond 1920x1080, providing for an incredible looking, detailed picture. Those are for professionals and are priced for professionals.
You should be able to build an acceptable system for $900. I just put together one a buddy of mine ordered. Now, his cost $1400, but he went with 16GB of RAM, 180GB SSD [instead of an HDD], a $300.00 32" monitor--which he complained didn't look as nice as my 24" monitor :), a liquid cooling system for both CPU and vid card, and an i7 processor.
