Yah the one you linked give no info on most of the parts.

[cowdy]

You can easily spend 3500+ to get a really good one but next month it will be outdated

For starters it doesn't give any specs about the motherboard.

Quality Board, CPU Ram and GPU are vital. Spend big money on the board is the best bet long term as they will allow you to OC Stably later on.

This is true but I have found $2000 to be a good amount to spend for some gaming grunt that will last 2-3 years and play all now games. My last $1000 computer struggled after 12-18 months to play new games on max settings.

Last Gaming machine I built csot me $4k wholesale.

I wanted a serious machine like that but couldn't justify it.

Then you have basement nerds that all there system is like 1000 and could out performs its by leaps and bounds

You mean people with days and days of time to spend clocking every component.

[cowdy]

Exactly hahah

[RandomHero83]

Not the systems I build, My job used to be the design and supply of systems to Chrome studio's and Creative Assembly before I took the job I have now. I still build a few rigs for the lads that work there every couple of years.

[Ants]

$1000 will only get you a basic 'gaming' computer, how serious are you about it Ants?

not like a total nerd but I want a system that kicks ass with HD gaming and media

[cowdy]

What games do you wanna play and what type of movie? If you want tht and only occasionally gaming 1000 will be enough

[RandomHero83]

double that budget for something that will perform for 2 years.

I did Ants, there are about 15 ASUS 1150 socket boards so which one is it?

EDIT: Just checked ASUS' webpage, they have 28 Socket 1150 boards available.

I dont have time to play 24/7. But I have a few games I want to play and my current POS PC is certainly not up to it.

Games - have a file size of 1.5gb

Movies - I obtain via the internet - file size anything between 2.5gb and 12gb (depending on availability and quality)

[RandomHero83]

They are vague as to be flexible enough to fit what they have in stock at the time of building it.

Playing movies required very little power just a lot of storage. Storage is very cheap again so it's not a worry.
