So I'm looking for a good gaming computer build for under $1000, I'm also new to computers so I have no idea where to start. I'm looking for a computer that can run on triple monitors and can play a game like Arma 2 or Battlefield 3 are mid settings while I'm live streaming and have a few windows open. If there isn't something like this then I would prefer a build that can be upgraded easily.
Can anybody share some builds with me? If so thanks and also this the build I currently might get.

Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+
Video Card - HIS Radeon HD 7850
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB BLUE (2x4GB)
HDD - Western Digital 500 GB
Case - NZXT Source 210
Power Supply - Antec VP-450
Optical Drive â Samsung 24x SATA DVD RW
Operating System- Windows 7
I know that this can't run triple monitors but I do know it can run dual monitors but I'm not sure if this could be upgraded to where it can run triple monitors smoothly.

Hello, can you please tell me if my computer is fast or not?
Here are the results from SpeedTest.net
Ping: 17

Should I change my provider?
My current provider is Comcastâ¢
Answer
As was said these are Internet connection speeds and have little to do with your computer's speed.
That being said,
Depending on how close the destination server is to you, 17 ms is a good ping (low latency).
Latency is the delay (ping time) in milliseconds that it takes the signal to travel to the server and back. The lower the number the better, but if you are a gamer, you'll definitely want a ping time of under 120 ms or you'll have major problems with online gaming lag. Ideally you want less than 80 ms ping to the gaming server.
Ping time depends on distance and number of connections. Your connection may have to be routed through 15 or 20 hops (different locations) to reach the destination server. Each server has a delay (latency) due to the distances that the signals must travel. Try to choose a closer server to lower your ping time.
Your download and upload speeds are average for a cable Internet provider such as Comcast.
Internet speeds and pricing vary greatly by geographical area. The speeds are slower and the prices are higher in remote areas because there is less competition to lower prices and there are fewer subscribers to share the costs of the equipment and service.
Average broadband speed in the USA is currently around 15.6 Mbps. http://www.fcc.gov/measuring-broadband-america/2013/February
Cable and fiber optic Internet speeds are generally faster than DSL. If you live in a rural area or small area your speeds are extremely fast, However for a major metropolitan area they are just average.
Comcast DOCSIS 3.0 cable Internet boasts speeds up to a blazing 305 Mbps in certain areas. http://isp1.us/blog/comcast-to-launch-ungodly-fast-305-mbps-home-internet/ Fiber optic ADSL2+ and VDSL products are also offered in excess of 300 Mbps in select locations.
You can even get 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) Google Fiber if you happen to live in the Kansas city area. https://fiber.google.com/about/
Most broadband Internet services including cable, DSL and satellite are asymmetric. which just means that more of the bandwidth is dedicated to the download channel than the upload channel. For instance 20 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. This is due to the fact that most users download much more than they upload.
Good Luck...
