    getting a PC

    Hello! I currently have a mac that's about 6 years old and it's starting to die on me. I'm planning on getting a pc since most games I want to play can't be run on a mac anyways. I am going to build my own computer, and I have around an 1800$ budget. With the 1800, I will need to get every part to build the computer, a monitor, and any other essentials other than a mouse/keyboard/speakers. What would be the best setup that I can get for that price? Thanks

    With a budget like that you can pretty much get anything you want, so I'm not exactly sure why you're asking. By your post I take it you know how to build a system, and therefore know about the components, so surely you know what do get?

    Check that out to get a jist of what parts you want, then head over to you fav' PC components retailer (parts are cheaper here and there, so it's best to shop around) and buy them.

    Are you building it yourself?
    Where do you live?
    What uses besides gaming?
