Answer
Hello, your friend is right about newegg if you live in the US. I assume you do even without checking the zip code.

First question, do you need a case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers,etc. ? Everything except dvd rom?

I would get these and I'll explain why below (Without the above):

1. Quad-core AMD, crossfirex ATI, AMD chipset, this is a spider platfrom motherboard =

3. HyperX ram, Kingston, High Quality and fast.

5. Western Digital (Get 1-2 maybe...)

6. Thermaltake power supply, 750 watts, 80%+ eff. CrossfireX AMD supported

===============================================

Right now at $$1,224.94 without tax or shipping. This includes two hard drives. Now some people will tell you otherwise. I have been building computers for 15 years.

I choose quad-core amd, ati video, and amd chipset board so you can get the spider platform. All stuff is faster together. Also the motherboard supports crossfireX which you can always get another ATI HD 3870 X2 if you want. Also the motherboard can be upgrade with a 3.0 ghz processor later. And 4 gigs of HyperX ram is plenty. I didn't go with a 1TB hard drive because massive hard drives have bad quality control right. Plus I went Western Digital because most of the other hard drive brands have much higher failure rates. Thermaltake 750 watt because 750 will be enough, and the powersupply is over 80% efficent and thermaltake has nice no extra cost warranty on their products.

If you need otherstuff, I suggest a new case, I would have to adjust the other stuff a little. Please respond if you need monitor, case, keyboard, speakers, etc....

Suggestion: Being that you don't know what's good and you think Intel and Nvidia are the best, you better cough up more dough. Those computer specs are hard to beat for the money. You would need at least 2500+... I would suggest this case if you are a hardcore gamer...

LIAN LI PC-P80 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112159

But you can only get that if your going for the AMD ATI stuff... plus the newest video cards out for Nvidia are not SLI supported. I hope their next set is.

This link has a youtube video review for the case. It's worth watching even if you don't want the case.

GAMING COMPUTER CASES?

rachious4o

I'm looking for a nice gaming case

-mid or full tower
-atx
-not plastic
-sleek
-dark color or really bright
-windows
-good air management for overclocking
-Door

Answer
I like full towers, and black. I don't like flashy lights, I like my computer to be the dark knight in a sense...people can just look at the HUGE case, and they know its a beast.

Look for Lian Li cases, Thermaltake Armor series is good too. Antec 1200 might be up your alley as well.

PS, These are all full towers, as I hate the mids.

Look into the Lian Li modular Cube. That thing will blow your mind.
