Looking to build a computer but haven't been keeping up with all the new stuff that came out the last couple of years. Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction and suggest a build for about 900-1000$ since I still need windows and a monitor. I'm going to be buying all the parts from frys since I have a discount there. Wanna be able to play and run games real well that will be the main purpose of the computer. Also If someone could suggest a good maybe 23 inch monitor. www.frys.com Thanks for the help.

I've been outta the computer scene for a while and i wanted to jump back in and start playing some games again. I'm kind of confused about the CPU's and GPU's that are out now, since they're constantly upgrading the technology im completely lost as to the best hardware out there now a days. I read about how Nvidia has SLI and ATI has crossfire which lets you use two graphics cards and i was wondering what is the benefit of that? Does it make a huge difference since you get to use two cards now? or is it more for if you plan on using a really high resolution or two monitors maybe? Are Intel/AMD still neck and neck for their processors in terms of how well they perform and how much they cost or is one better than the other? What about Nvidia/ATI are they still neck and neck for their graphics cards or is one better than the other? How many gigs of ram are the norm now if you want to game, is it 4 or 8? I was looking at maybe spending about $800 and i wanted to get a computer that i can continue upgrading for a few years without having to buy completely new stuff.
