OHai there Smile

So finaly after a month of trying to decide if i want to buy a computer off a store or build my own computer, I decided to build my own computer Gasp
But i don't really know what to get for the new PC Gaspkay:
I Basicly have 1k$(1000 Canadian $) to spend on the new computer


Here is basicly what i want to do on the PC:
Games like skyrim
Host minecraft server for 2-3 people
Browse reddit-youtube and such
Have a dual screen ( I already have the 2 screens)


I know that i must get a good graphics card and a descent CPU but witch kind? and what should i really not forget?
P.S. ---> I already have a keyboard and a mouse and the 2 computer screens so no need to worry about that


Thank you for any suggestions
if you really want to help me out it would be apreciated to suggest me a few computer specs

No you download Windows 7 then burn it to a blank Dvd disc then put it in your new PC's drive and boot from drive at startup

Honestly, I've been looking at the answers for a while now and I've noticed that you don't need all that memory, as long as you are not multitasking like crazy you'll be fine, I have a 4GB RAM and I can host a MC server with no lag. Winky Winky
EDIT: I also have windows 7 cracked and it runs fine, find yourself a good torrent, get a registry keygen and you will have no problems! Smile

Worth the Weight
I would NOT recommend the AMD Bulldozer CPU's. They were a mistake and I hope AMD can push a better one out soon, and I mean soon or else Intel is going to be all over them.

8GB is the sweetspot unless your like me and you "Embrace the overkill" so to speak.

I would recommend a 6970 and a i5 2500k

If you manage to squeeze this in then you will be set for a year or two.
