Need ideas on a new PC. HELP! Options

[dejong90]

O.P.

Hey there. I posted not long ago with a build. It sort of died out and it's still bugging me that I have not found the build I want yet. I already have G.Skill 8GB ram sniper version. I also already have the Aerocool Vx-R case, which I am kind of not keen on now that I have bought it, lol. Though I was looking at the Antec case, got dual fans with dust filters in the front. Can't remember the exact name. I want it for gaming. I have $1000 – $1200 to spend. Any opinions on good builds for this price. Let me know what you have come up with, will be interesting to see the different builds and definately might give me a better idea on what I actually want.

Games I will be playing is -

Diablo 3
Battlefield 3
Call of Duty MW3
Ghost Reacon, the new one forget the name, lol.
Plus other games that I can't think of at the moment. Though that's a basic rundown of what I want to play on it.

What does the 1k need to cover? Do you require monitor, mouse, kb?

At this time I have a 23" LG E2360. I have a okay mouse and keyboard. Though I don't need to replace them anytime soon. I will be buying a keyboard and mouse in time but not for a couple of months, the ones I got now will do. So it's pretty much covering the mobo, graphics, CPU, PSU, HDD and SSD later on. Though I don't think I will be getting a SSD right away either. I may use the optical drive I have in my current computer, though it will be going as well in time and getting a blu-ray player.

That is actually very similar to what I was thinking about buying, but I was looking at getting this card http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...oducts_id=19849 it's the gigabyte Radeon 7850 2GB OC edition. What are your thoughts on this card? Though I am thinking I might just spend that little bit more on the 7870 and it is probably more bang for the buck there.
