    I would like to construct my very own computer. Mainly for the knowledge of doing it and keeping things a lot cheaper.
    This is more of a baseline on what i want. I am mainly using this for gaming, as you can see. If you guys could help me find things cheaper or Tips on what not to get that would be greatly appreciated.
    I'm not extremely up to date on all of the current technology in the computer industry, I would like to get the most satisfaction out of the price though.
    Price range Free-1,500 USD

    All looks good to me a very balanced mid range system,if I were building it I would spend less on the case and maybe the SSD and invest it in a more powerful video card,something like the GTX580.

    If you have a normal HD laying around you can use that until money for an SSD becomes available and don't forget an operating system;)
