Creating a Gaming PC

[chrisskrem]

I am interested in building my own gaming PC for WoW, call of duty etc. Wanting to spend anywhere under $1500 can anyone assists me with a good build around this price range. Thanks

thats a lot of money for a gaming rig. do you have any parts that you already own like hard drives, keyboard/mouse, monitor?

Look around here, there are THOUSANDS of PC builds spanning the range from dirt cheap to 10's of thousands.

I'd bet there are more than 10 builds posted in the $1-1.5K range on the first page of the sub-forum you posted this question in.
