    I highly suggest you check the front page, Chaud has kindly layed out an entire list of parts for four different computer builds, going from basics to the tippy top.

    Unless you have an extra 150ish dollars ontop of what you stated then you'll want the "Narwhal" build.

    Edit: Please read the notes he put up regarding the processor, you can probably manage to get Unicorn but use the i5-3570k from Narwhal instead of the i7-3770k.

    could you guide me to his page....I have no idea how to find it

    Yeah front page is a good place to start. I think "Narwhal" is what you'd want price-wise. I recommend taking the SSD. If you want to spend the time to do further research, google reviews for the major components.

    *EDIT*

    Haha yeah, just go to the front page of this website and search for "Puppy" or "Dolphin" or "Narwhal" or "Unicorn". That's what he calls the 4 main rig options he recommends.

    Both Narwhal and Unicorn would run those games and more on ultra.

    I will be starting from scratch.....I would like the best resolution possible..games bf2, black ops2, skyrims...would like to play ultra settings....I do no mods or anything like that I just want it for gaming and browsing the web.....and im not worried about the mouse, keyboard, I just want a good functioning desktop....I would like to be able to use an xbox controller with it...don't think I can adapt to a keyboard and mouse lol

    I would be interested in possibly playing/using split monitors....does that change anything?

    Resolution is based on your screen.

    Split monitors? You wanna play with 3 screens? (with 2 u will have the crosshair between the screens)
    You would probably need a 2nd graphicscard if u want to play on ultra and have playable fps.

    Xbox controllers got USB adapters, just buy one and plug it in like a mouse.
