Dude it's NOT hard at all to build one. A kid could even do it. I seen a small monkey can install a video card lol.

http://www.overclock.net go join up it's free and start learning.

Heck maybe if you start a thread you will get LOTS of posts what to get and help with.

TRUST ME. Less than 900 or more will give you a good rig.

Seriously bro.

UNLESS you can let me build you a good system but it's gonna cost you. I still believe you can do it yourself but i'd be happy to help.

I have 2 acer s231hl's and 1 LG e2350's (23") running beside each other in eyefinity. I paid a lot more for my LG and don't see much of a difference. Their all LED's and look great. Plus the acers came with vga cord, dvi cord, and a hdmi cord.

Oh and I did a build after using my desktop for 4 years, built nearly the same system for a lot cheaper. Building it now compaired to back then was so much easier. You might wanna do it yourself and get the 6870 radeon instead.

http://www.youtube.com/user/NCIXcom#p/search/0/HIJx6Y3tofg this is a good guide for building a system.

ok, so you need a good keyboard and mouse suitable for gaming (that doesnt mean it has to be expensive) and a good Full HD LCD Screen, with a really fast responce times, a lot of people look ther at the wrong number because manufacturers report the 100% to 0% contrast times but thats not much use for games because wen do you actualy see it go from fully white to fully black or the other way round???
Much more importand to see how it does at 20% to 80% to 20%, now if thats under 10ms its ok for gaming :)

I already have computer parts if you need them to be ready. I can build them right away and ship it but it costs money to do so. I can even order stuff off newegg for a discounted price. Heck I'd sell you my monitor if you want a 22 inch 1680x1050 widescreen.

I can build pretty much anything from air cooled pc's or water cooled. PM me a message if you want the full deal i'd be happy to else otherwise you're on your own pal :D

@Jerkamie: altough Acer (group) has bad suport in general there Monitors are really good.
I got the Acer T230H Full HD Touch Screen, really good and really fast screen, exellent for gaming.
Had 2 other Acer's before that, gave the last one i had to my mom, still works fine, must be 6 or 7 years old now, still no sign of dead pixels or any other isues.

Touchscreen is pretty easy wen your to lame to where your mouse is, reach out for yout mouse, move the mouse so the cursor moves accros the screen to what you want to click and than tap your finger 2 times on the mouse button... much easier just to stick your finger out, touch the screen where you need to and tap it :P sadly only a few games so far suport it, and than most of them only in the menu.
But Windows 7 and Media Center can be fully controled with it.

Oh, and on the Acer T230H is really hard to see any fingerprints at all, fingerprints freak me out on my HTC HD2 Touchscren phone, but there not an isue on the monitor because of the coating they used.

I didn't realize we needed your permission to speak here on the forums, sorry......
anyway back to reality to the ORIGINAL POSTER

If you haven't bought anything yet this combo http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.620612 at newegg is already setup to work properly (e.g. everything is compatible) and the Sandy Bridge i5 2500k Processor listed is probably one of the fastest processors you can buy now and a good deal more powerful than the Phenom II 965. Also the 560ti gets about 10 fps (37 versus 47) more than the radeon 6850 at 1920x1200 on crysis warhead according to this reviewhttp://guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-560-ti-sli-review/7 so overall this is alot better package than the pre built you originally listed.

Another extremely important point I wanted to make and It is a generalization and not aimed directly at anyone on the forum but anyhow is solid advice. Unless the person offering you their PC building services is licensed system builder and authorized representative/dealer for the companies they are trying to sell you and can offer you a warranty in writing anything you buy from another member in this forum is AS-IS. If it breaks you are totally out your money and if they decided to not fix it/send it for RMA themselves you would have to sue them in small claims court in their jurisdiction to recover your money. Most companies also will not accept RMA's unless you are the originally purchaser, with exception to XFX who makes video cards. If someone offers you used equipment at a reduced price stay very far way unless you know how to test it and are going through a valid amazon.com marketplace or ebay account with some sort of intermediary who will represent you in case you get bad goods. Its always better unless they are a reputable dealer to learn to build you own or pay a company like Fry's to build you a PC for a fee.

@velozzity: those kits/bundles are never complete, he still needs other stuff with that to get it to work wich will make it a lot more expensive.

I do agrea with you that you should not have someone you dont know build you a computer, even if they claime they work in a computer store, before you know it you might get ripped off and your new computer might turn out to be a pile of used parts and wires.

Since the Wishlists are update now on NewEgg here is what i proposed to him:
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12690094
The Motherboard and the Processor WAS availabe as a Bundle offer up to Yesterday wich would have saved him 50 Dollars...
(i was thinking it was cow poop just to get you to buy it now and it said that everyday, like they do on so many sites, but guess not at Newegg, so the offer ended)
