My first build. My current computer is peaking with what it can handle, got some spare cash, so figured it's a good time to move up. Got a good deal on the memory ($70), a decent deal on the hard drive ($109), so now I'm filling the rest in a$$backwards. My usage is gaming (DDO, L2, WOW, COH, the next great thing in MMORG), some video editing but not a lot. I just like having a reasonably powerful machine (just in case) and something that will last a while. Budget = $800-$1000, excluding monitor, but the lower the better. Full or mid case is fine. Might OC, might not. Don't necessarily need a sound card, but will consider suggestions.Thanks in advance for any ideas.
