looking into a new gaming setup.

You said your price range was around $1000, that's plenty enough for a $200 GPU?

edit:

Dude, give me a solid price range about $200 below what you can/will actually spend on this thing (taxes/OS will take up something about that much) and give it to us, and let us pick the stuff. You're free to ask questions about parts and what does what and or why you need something, but so far you're trying to buy something from cyberpowerPC (which although it's an alright place, it's not only cheaper in the long run to buy solid dependable parts yourself, but better because you'll actually know what's inside your computer, so when something breaks you can find it and possibly replace it without getting charged a $100+ service fee at bestbuy). and or trying to put a $50 card in that won't perform as well as just using the integrated graphics with the i5.

are you still using cyberpowerPC?

(also what GPU did you settle on?)

edit: Okay so you were just ignoring me and using cyberpowerPC anyways, have fun getting it fixed at bestbuy when something fails on you or part of the liquid cooling system breaks and shorts out the system.

To be honest I tried giving you advice but you're intent on having cyberpowerPC do everything for you, enjoy your sub-par PC.

I just like the cases that they have, and how they offer the keyboard moniter and mouse and everything all toghether. alot cheaper.

Gigabyte N65TOC-2GI Graphics card - 2 GB - GDDR5 SDRAM is what im aiming at
