I don't know if even the greatness of Doom would be enough if he were given a Farfetch'd. Speaking of, you get Farfetch'd in Vermillion, are there any plans to get him after destroying Surge?

I don't think Surge will be bored for very long.

Erika comes after Surge, then we get to see Koga. I'm almost wondering if Doom will even bother with Erika, he might just burn her gym to the ground without a second thought.

It's acceptable, but I wouldn't call it good anymore. It really depends on how much you play games on your PC. If you play recent games, I would recommend that you up your price range to get something a bit better. The things you want to look at are the video memory and memory interface. The one you picked is 1GB of video memory, and 128-bit memory interface. The 1GB is good enough, but the 128-bit is a bit on the slow side.

I'd like to make a suggestion for your RAM.

It's better and cheaper than what you've got selected there.

Also, you might want an SSD to minimize loading times, like for your operating system and programs you use often.

Don't forget to have your OS on hand, as you'll need it when you finish the build.

Part of the price bump in the first case is compatibility with Extended ATX motherboards, so don't consider that since I think you picked out a standard ATX one. The airflow and cooling is probably better in the second since it has more fans, and larger ones at that. You should also consider which one you prefer to look at since you'll hopefully have this case through multiple builds.

It's Doom, how can you go wrong?

$1200 is a solid budget for building a great computer. Just keep in mind that it'll start lagging behind in about 2 years, but it's easier to upgrade down the road as well.

For your CPU, get an Ivy Bridge i5 or i7 processor. There's not a huge difference between i5 and i7 when it comes to gaming, and there's a noticeable price difference between the two. That's a key place to save a little bit of money if you want to.

For RAM, get 8 GB. There's no reason to spend huge amounts of money on 12 or 16 right now, and whenever you might need to upgrade that to 16 or so, it'll probably be a lot cheaper as well.

The graphics card is where you'll have the biggest expenditure if you're really wanting to go all out on it. You'll probably want to go at or above 1.5 GB memory size, and I'd highly suggest 384-bit cards. Don't fall for PCI Express 3.0, it's not all that common yet and will make it harder to find a good motherboard at a reasonable price.

For Hard Drives, you only need more than 1 TB if you're really into downloading videos and storing them. I'd suggest getting a 128 GB SSD drive and putting your operating system and games on it. It's amazingly fast compared to your traditional hard drive, and well worth the investment.

One place some people screw up on is the Power Supply. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure it is rated as 80+. If it isn't, you risk blowing the power supply and destroying your investment. There are excellent power supply calculators out there, you can just put in all your parts and it will give you an estimate on them. I'd suggest going at least 50-100 over it, just so you have a bit of give, and you don't want to push the power supply too hard. It would also give you some room to upgrade and not need to worry about whether the power supply can handle the new part.

Don't forget certain essentials: DVD/Blu-Ray Drive, Monitor, Mouse & Keyboard, Speakers.

Well this was a quality topic

Doom has certain things in store for those who think otherwise.

As your USER OF THE YEAR I promised 100 more Doom updates before the year is out. Let's all work hard for me to reach this goal!

This is a glorious day.

It's disappointing that only one other person mentioned Lufia 2 so far. It has several songs better than anything else on the SNES.

That last one is probably the best deal you're gonna find. Excellent monitor there.

Probably only if you play a bunch of PC games or stream HD video a lot.

The first monitor has a higher refresh rate, which means video will appear smoother on it. That's pretty much the entire reason for the increased price, aside from the minor size difference.
