    decent gaming rig

    hey guys this is my first time posting on these forums and i'm looking for some help with building a decent gaming rig i am fairly tech savvy so don't be afraid to throw out some big words :P

    Willing to Self Build or a Pre-Built:
    Both, I can build but i would prefer a Pre-built if it cost the same i'm looking more at performance

    How much you want to spend:
    950$ i've ran into some money recently

    How much you can spend:
    950$ :P

    What all you plan to use it for:
    i am looking to play games on decent setting and occasionally live stream or record some footage

    What Operating system you want to use & Bit:
    Windows 7 im not 100% sure how the whole bit idea works the only difference i know is the amount of ram useable

    What Resolution you hope to be in:
    i have a 42' and want to play on it at 1920x1080 if possible

    What Settings do you Want & how much FPS:
    hopefully the highest but im willing to go to moderate settings as i know that my budget is not too high and i want to be sitting at about a steady 60ish FPS

    What Country are you from: America

    What can you re-use: nothing sorry my comp is a PoS

    Network will be wired or wireless:
    would like wireless but i might be able to go wired i will have to look later

    Do bear in mind big TV's with 1920x1080 isn't very good to game with, they're not really genuine 1080p monitors as 3/4 of the pixels are "fake" IIRC.
