Hello forums, I had some really bad luck with jobs and had to sell off my desktop and laptop about 6 months ago. I am back employed and really need a desktop again. My budget is $550 to build something for gaming at 1920x1080, I have my old Logitech keyboard and mouse along with a Samsung 23" 1920x1080 monitor so I just the need components.

 

I play FPS's mostly along with some Starcraft and World of Warcraft.

Do you need a copy of Windows?

What about Amazon?
