Need to build a gaming computer

[Starkler]

Change the case to a 30USD one and you're pretty much at 1000USD.

Thanks a lot. This will run all current games and games to come on max settings or close to it, right?

It will .

[Starkler]

It will.

I have a question though. Why i5 and not i7?

[SnOwBunZz]

i7 has hyperthreading, which actually brings down the actual performance in games back to the level of an i5. So, to save 100USD, it's better to get the i5 instead of the i7.
