Are you likely to fiddle around with overclocking things at all?

Also, anything savable? Monitor (resolution?), case, power, keyboard/mouse, etc...

All of these are defiantly things to consider. Post your system specs if you don't know whats worth saving. Also, do you have any interest in building the rig yourself? It would save time and for $900 you could build a crazy good system.

I have to agree with Rather building allows you to save money and get a lot more bang for your buck. If you know how to build then I would suggest doing so. System specs will help with painting a better picture so we can give you better advice

for example, for 850 i made a rig that has

i-5 2500 k..over clocked at 4.7 ghz

GTX 560 ti

1trbt hard drive

60 gig solid state drive

blu-ray disk drive

p8-z68 pro motherboard

amazing rig

I can save the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Other than that I am the biggest computer noob in the world, don't know how to run systems checks and that shit .

What's the maximum resolution of the monitor? (or the model number)

I see well for saving on the peripherals. For the monitor you have to ask what do you want?

Full HD 1080P, even higher or less. The higher the resolution you're monitor can go the better games will look but will also be dependant on how much your video card can produce

60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz? This affects how high the fps can be when V-Sync is on (60fps, 120fps, 240fps) since some games are prone to screen tears and the frequency will also reduce the amount of tears even if V-Sync is off

What size 17" 19" 20" 22"+

If you want to save go LCD not LED

Now for the mouse go for a Razor. Razor mice are made for gamers by gamers they are very precise and quick to respond and will be an asset to your KD ratio

Now for the keyboard I say go for something ergonomic. Gaming keyboards are well and good but many do not come with wrist support and I have found that without it my wrist is killing me after a few hours of play

Send us some links of some of products you are thinking of

Are you still planning on the new computer? If so please respond back with your monitor resolution and the best comprehensive list you can think of containing what you desire your new rig to be able to do (games you like to play, video editing/format conversion, etc..). Also is this something you'd like to build yourself? If so let us know so we can start putting together a list of parts to consider. If not we can look for the best per-built system for your needs (although i really suggest the first option as it is cheaper and much easier than it seems).

Hey, sorry about not responding for some time. My brother is going to build me a new computer as a late birthday present. Thanks guys!

Sounds great! Hope it works out nicely for you.
