$750-$1000 gaming PC

[jtsquash]

Hi there everyone,

I wanted to build myself a gaming PC and I would love some input.
My dream PC would be in small and quiet, but not sacrificing in power. While I think this everyone's ideal set up, I am not that set on flashy looks or any of that stuff.
I was thinking that the budget would include the computer and the OS (probably windows 7).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I am a bit of a novice when it comes to this.
Thanks in advance,
-Jt

Are you going to overclock?

That is a solid build right there.

Possibly? perhaps slightly, but nothing to crazy. In short I am not sure. If I can do it and get some more performance out of the components then I am up for it.

Well i included an aftermarket cpu cooler and the proper mobo anyways.
