Gaming Computer for around 1,000, this good??

[Jasaki]

I have been trying to make a gaming computer and i think i got it down...for the most part. I will most likely be using this on a 20"- 32" TV so hdmi on motherboard is necessary. I will be playing All types of games: WOW, Battlefield 3, CSS, TF2, Skyrim, Borderlands 2. Preferably on Max settings

If anyone has ANY suggestions please feel free to respond with the modifications.

If I were you I would get

6950 1GB instead of 560. More powerful card, and with no real-world difference at 1920x1080 res with the 2GB model

PSU is overkill. 650W is more than enough!

For storage I would go with the classic best seller Spinpoint F3 1TB

and finally I would save some money, by buying a cheaper but still high quality case like Antec One Hundred

Check out the $850 build here:

That should give you $150 which should be good enough for OS and peripherals. I've played CSS and BC2 with a crap $25 Logitech wireless keyboard and HP $10 mouse for the last few years and its done me fine so. I think $25 per thing is pretty good amount. Just my opinion though.

Alright, i have switched the the slots you posted and i believe they are a better as well. The case, however, im not sure about. In the $850 build they recommend the Haf 922 for the airflow.

I am not real concerned about looks so the Antec one hundred case, do you think it would have enough airflow for 10+ hours of gaming? (obviously an exxageration, but that is what im looking for)

If it fits on your budget get the Haf 922

 

[Jasaki]

alright, thanks for your help

The HAF 912 and 922 both would be valid options for airflow. Just make sure the 922 fits your budget, I put the 912 to fit for lower budgets.
