Build a Gaming Computer for Different Price Ranges?

Parker

I'm hoping to build a new Gaming Computer by the end of the 2013 year. Currently, I'm either playing the Xbox 360, or playing on a crappy Intel Celeron B820. Obviously, that laptop isn't meant for gaming. I want something that can handle games like The Elder Scrolls on medium-high settings with a solid framerate.

I will be building my own PC to save the money (and put it towards better parts). So the first question is: is newegg.com really the place to go? It seems that in every forum I have gone to, newegg is mentioned at least 5 times.

The real question here is this: what parts are the best bang for the buck for different price ranges?
$500-699?
$700-899?
And, if it is truly worth it, what parts are the best for a $1000 budget?

So if you could, go ahead and name all the parts (cpu, gpu, motherboard, case, etc.) for those price ranges. Also, I would appreciate if you could say how much of an upgrade one this is to another (4GB of RAM compared to 8GB, etc)

Lastly, I've heard people saying that dual-core processors wont be able to run games in the future...so how long will the parts I get last in your opinions.

Thanks so much everyone. Yahoo Answers is truly the best!

Hi, watch this video from jackfrags where he builds a pc that can run any game on ultra except bf3 and crysis games like that or i guess you could max them if you lowered your resolution, and the best part is all the parts cost only...... 400$!.

the only thing i would change is upgrade ram to 8 gb and get a 3570k for the cpu instead of a Intel Pentium G850, which is a dual core cpu. Cheers!

Answer
I changed a few things...
psu needs to better quality, as well as the hdd (Seagate is worst on the market). ssd is ok, but there are faster ones.
I recommend spending a bit more and get an oced gtx760..
16gb on a gaming rig is a bit too much.. get 2x8 but with higher clocks..
if you need to save some cash to get MY parts, don't get the corsair cooler and use the stock one (for now).
once you wanna oc the cpu, get the hydro or similar..
