    I am thinking of buying a computer and my price limit is 1000 usd. But the thing is I don't know about computers, so can you guys recommend something for me?

    just look for something along these lines (someone will probably elaborate more later)

    core 2 duo e'6300
    cheaper(est) p965 mobo
    2x 1gb ocz/gskill/patriot
    x1800xt
    250gb seagate barracuda with prm tech
    nec cd/dvd r-rw
    apevia (aspire) case+psu (or some other combination of case/psu)

    should land you around $1000

    the x1800xt can play almost all the games out there just as good as the x1900xt (maybe not the future games, but it will be able to play them.. bien.)

    But sometimes when you assemble your own you get blue screens becasue sometimes the parts you buy arent compatible with each other. Thats what happened to me last time. But you could always return/replace and try another peice.

    and thats why when you decide to build your own PC you have to know about pc's and the parts so that does not happen.
