Yeah, building yourself is the best.

If that's not your bag, check these guys out for a machine that they will put together for you http://www.ecollegepc.com/

Yeah i was thinking about building it or having someone build it since ive heard that was the best way to go...but yeah ive never done it or know what all kinds of parts i needthreeb07

You'll probably want to do a bit of reading before just diving right in. Anandtech has some fairly decent buyer's guides, and Corsair has a rather popular guide on building it yourself.

This is the advice you give him? A buyer's guide? Get outta here.

Building a computer yourself will eventually cost you more than actually buying one built. Trust me, I know, unlike Rayzinbrand.
The best thing for you to do, is first find computers that are worth $1000, and then compare them, simple.
Remember, if you gotta pay someone to build it for you, that's less money on your pocket.

...I sure as hell hope that that's sarcasm. :|

Building gaming worthy machines yourself costs you a lot less than prebuilt rubbish.  Maybe for home office PCs prebuilt PCs from Dell/HP represent good value for money.

Anyway, topic creator look for something like this:
- Core 2 Duo E6420
- Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
- GeCube Radeon X1950 PRO
- Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 2GB
- Corsair HX520 520w PSU
- Western Digital SE16 250GB SATAII Hard Disk
- Pioneer/Sony/Asus/Samsung DVD-RW
- Floppy disk drive
- [Case of your choice]

Look for all these products on www.newegg.com.

Are you still upset that you don't know the difference between PCI and PCI-e?
