the first thing to do when building a computer is set a budget. Then decide what you want this machine to do for you, and how long before you want to replace it or any of its major components.

For a decent gaming machine i would say at least 1000 usd.

Let me know when you have a budget and what you plan to do with this machine and ill help guide you through the component selection process.
