Hey there forum, I am in need of a new computer so I am reaching out to get some help on setting one up. My budget is $1000-$1200. I am a light gamer, meaning the game I play the most is World of Warcraft but I still play some other games like cod and starcraft 2 and diablo 3 when they come out. I am not going to need a monitor, speakers, keyboard, or mouse in the build. I am going to need a bang for the buck computer preferably with windows vista with a upgrade coupon for win7. I would like to thank you in advance.
That build is nice. I would remove one 4890 though to cut costs but get a crossfire supported PSU so you're covered for an upgrade. He also needs a DVD drive.

Just did. Also added DVD drive.
Oh, I didn't add a crossfire PSU since if he's going to upgrade he'll probably get a DX11 card.

I am from the U.S. I am really liking the build, just need to throw in a vista os. I was also wondering (being an intel user for a long time) are the amd's the way to go, or what about the i7's?

1.) The i7 and Phenom x4 955 are very close in terms of performance, but the i7 probably costs around $150 - $200 more because i7 motherboards are more expensive and 6GB of DDR3 triple channel RAM is also expensive. AMD makes great CPUs and the Phenom x4 955 is almost top of the line from AMD. Sorry, I forgot about the OS. I'm sure you can find it and add it...

The i7's are a little too pricey at the moment especially considering that kind of power just isn't needed; people even OC those things! AMD is known for giving you great for performance for your money. The CPU picked out for you exemplifies this rule completely, it can match the i7's when it comes to current gaming and it is quite a bit cheaper.
Just to push you over the edge on your decision, the case looks fantastic and has great airflow. The build is probably the best price/performance build out there.
Sweet, thanks a bunch for the help. I got tired of consoles so I wanted to get back into the pc scene. Can't wait to start ordering, and owning nubs :)

No problem :P. (but don't hate on consoles, I love my PS3)
Oh, I wasn't hating on the consoles. I have a ps3 and 360, I am just getting bored of them and wanted to get back into some intense fps/ mmo's on the computer.
