1000.00$ is a little low for Gaming, and even Music and Photo editing...

Do you have any parts already or is $1000 the price for the whole thing?

If you have a thread with a parts list it would be OK to link mostflyskaterboy to it. Otherwise this is his thread. |

Mostflyskaterboy.
You have a monitor but nothing else? Be clear on this because anyone spec'ing out a rig for you will inlude everything else. Like keyboard, mouse, speakers and a copy of XP. |

I picked out for you a very nice build for gaming that should last you a while. It has some future upgradability as well, you could add SLI, more ram, cpu, etc. All parts are very adjustable. I picked out for you what I myself would build if I came upon $1000. Also, keep in mind that I am an AMD guy. Intel may have better offerings with their core 2 duo, but I know little about what motherboard you would need.
Edit: see above^ |

Tankguys has taken the bad axe off of their catalog. So since I cant edit, get it from here instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813121016 Or the asus p5wdh if you willing to wait a few days.. |

Motherboard options for Conroe are becoming more diverse. I see successful reviews all over. You might want to price out a C2D build fer sure.
