So, this Christmas I have been given the opportunity to build a new computer. I have a budget of about $1000, and I would prefer to buy a built one from the store. I can replace parts, (video card, RAM, etc.) but I don't quite have the skills to build my own.
I'm looking mostly for a gaming PC. I've been trying to find out what kind of graphics card I'll need, but a lot of the information out there is quite confusing for a newbie like me. It would be really helpful if anyone cold give me a link explaining what I should look for in a video card. I've been looking mainly at the GForce 8600, which seems to be highly recommended on several sites, as well as some Circuit City employees.
I've been looking a lot at the difference between ATM and Intel processors as well. I'm not sure which will work better with a video card, or how important they are relative to the video card. Some information or a link to a useful site would be excellent as well.
I don't expect a full computer build from you guys, I know I'm fairly lacking on information, but if you could help me out and help me learn, it would be great. Thanks guys!
