Hi everyone,

Im looking to build a gaming rig hoping to spend less than 800 dollars.  Only need the computer, no monitor etc...  Any help with what specs to purchase would be awesome. Ive been out of the loop for a while so I'm not really up to datewith all the new hardware, but I want to check out all the new games that are just coming out.  Fallout, Crysis, CoD 5, left for dead, and everything else...so many new great looking games.  Thanks so much!
