Well, I have finally convinced my mom to front me enough money to get my computer started. I am sick of this stupid Dell POS. Anyways, I want to build a semi-specific computer that will be able to run anything under the sun game wise and go fast enough to keep up with me. All this has to be completed witha price tag of 2000$ or less. That includes shipping preferably. Now what I need is for some expertise on the matter. I have ideas, but I don't quite yet have enough knowlege to actually pick which parts are better than others. So, if you wouldn't mind, give me any helpful advice that you want or ask any questions you might have on clarification. Here is a list of parts I was thinking of getting or want.
Case: Lian-Li PC71 or PC 70 with clear side panel (other suggestions?)
Graphics: Radeon or Nvidia?
Monitor: 17" (preferably LCD for sake of saving room)
RAM: 1 gb Corsair (single or dual channel?)
ROM: CDRW (possibly DVD burner?)
Speakers: Something with good sound, but not too pricey.
Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech wireless k/m.
Sound card: Don't care.
Hard Drives: 40 gb(ish) 10,000 rpm and 120 gb(ish) 7200 rpm.
Mobo/Processor: This is where I really need help. Keep in mind it will mainly be used for gaming, Flash, and Photoshop.
Well, I think that is most of what I really care about. I hope i'm not missing something. So is this a possible setup for around 2000$? I hope this was the right place to post this and if it's not, please do tell me.
Anyways, thanks for the help and I'll check back often to see what you all have had to say.
