The last one I built came out of PC building Bible 2007. Only thing I know I want is Intel's Core i7 possibly i5 is the price is a big enough difference. Hit me up with some links on good deal on parts or kits if you know of any. I want to keep it below $1500. Thanks, |

Slickdeals.net is a great resource to find deals |

With a $1500 budget, it shouldn't be too hard. - Z68 based motherboard - i5 2500k (which will leave you nice headroom to overclock if you choose) - 8gb of nice ram (that'll run you $50 these days.... crazy cheap) - SSD boot drive (I'd go for a 120gb personally) - storage drive of your choice - DVD or BluRay drive - Video card based on what you actually want to spend on one. I never buy high end so I'd recommend a GTX 560 personally. |

With prices as low as they are today why would you want a kit or parts? I buy computers mostly from Tiger Direct. For $630 you can get a good i5 PC such as this one. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1147246&CatId=4928 For $1500 you can get a smokin fast i7 such as this one that will handle all your gaming needs. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1277091&CatId=6 There may be one or 2 things you may want to add but for the most part the PCs will meet your needs for much less hassle than kits, bundles, or buying items seprately. |

I think the only thing I want changed would be a Nvida Graphics card. What is the bang for your buck Nvida graphic card these days? Never mind I will look it up. |
