How big or what is the native resolution of your monitor? This can determine how much you can spend in terms of gaming performance with the graphic card.

that is a build i threw together for another thread. Take out the case, add an os, and perhaps get a bit better of a gpu if you like.

That build there came to $709 before MIR, -30 after the rebate...so take off the case and you have a good bit of room for a better video card with the budget of 850

i no its better to always build like 99% lol, meh dad always builds also, he is worried that like sometimes some pieces work but wont work well or ill have problems with the computer l8r on or sumthing and he doesnt want me to spen all my money and for it to be a waste, is ther a risk in this? or can you guys b like 100% sure it will work cuz since he builds he got his first build from a forums too, and every1 said it was really nice and everything and once he got it all it had lots of problems and took a long time to get his comp up and running right cuz of it... i really want to build but also dont want the risk of meh money going away cause i cant get it back fast..

There is always a risk, but that risk is very small. Most of the builds around here with similar components, usually end up pretty well. As long as everything is built and put together correctly, it'll all be good to go. The components we suggest around here, we try to pick out the best in quality and price. And even though every company has it's bad lemons, there's a very small chance one of them will be DOA.

If something goes wrong, you can always come to us. We'll be here to help you out. And you'll learn troubleshooting, etc.
