    Gaming Desktop

    I want to design and build a new desktop, but i've been away from the computer circle for awhile and i don't know what's what anymore. Any suggestions for CPU, video card(s), ram, etc. for under $1000? I'd like to be able to play COD Modern Warfare 2

    Thanks

    I can't say I agree with the Maximum PC specs, but that's because I tend to be a hardware elitist.

    It's pretty solid though.
