@philthy i just built my own machine and it ROCKS.  Bought all the parts separately and put it all together with some help.  check it out under "Rig" in my xfire profile:  http://www.xfire.com/profile/lordofchaos6666
 
.  I highly recommend getting an ssd drive... it is so fast...  and the case it really a must... so easy to swap out components... also a modular power supply is a must.  Leaves no loose wires you are not using to clutter up the inside of your box.  I got it all from NCIX.
 
Enjoy as there is no substitute for your own built rig.  Makes me really proud.  

Hey Dudes & Girls I have been playingh here for a couple yrs with my stock computer (except for video card)  I think I need to get a new system in order to be somewhat competive with all you ace shooters out there. I have a budget of around $1,000.00 to do this. Can I get something decent for that amount?
 
Thanks for all your help in advance.
