Like I've said before it's going to be used for music, internet, and gaming. I've already put something together, but I had no idea what I was doing I need everything except a monitor and speakers and my budget's about $1000 (this ones a little over but that's ok). Edit: I upgraded the video card, psu, and os. Now it's about $1200 but that's ok.
