I am going to be buying a new computer and i dont know what to get realy.
I am completely fine with building up my own computer too, especially as it will work out cheaper for the performance.
I have a budget of around 1,000 GB ($1,600 USD roughly) and i dont mind if its a desktop, laptop or a notebook as i just want to be able to play stuff like assassins creed, crysis, battlefield 3 and skyrim without any problems as well as use it for work. Hard drive space doesnt matter as i have about 20 terabytes worth of external hard drives
Currently i am on a zoostorm fizzbook drop tested from 2 stories by my sister and it has no built in disk tray so anything realy is better.
I realise i dont have much rep so 2 weeks worth for the best suggestion?

Here:

This should run everything out there.
You can save some money by unlocking the 6950 to a 6970, and seeming you already have external drives, I included a SSD, which could be used for installing Windows on.
I used the website called 'www.overclockers.co.uk', but you may be able to shop around and find the parts even cheaper.

Included SSD and CPU cooler,
The corsair 500R is an awesome case. Great airflow and as usual amazing cable management from corsair.
Included 850w power supply, so if you want to do Crossfire later on.

Looks look for a pc and customise it to your spec, then if you don't want to buy it from then (They are a good website though) Just write down all the parts and make it your self to save some money.
Nice website but theres too much going on for a pc noob haha, i might use it in the future though.
EDIT: Why cant i delete this post?

You have been very helpful, i like the case design too especialy with it being a mid so it wont take up too much room.The specs are nice however i've not heard of scan before though so ill shop around and see how cheap i can get it.

And Sam the lowest costing suggestion out of the two builds, the i7 processer sounds better than the i5 and the case is cool too with the lights and see through side
The graphics card you selected has two fans too so i guess this will increase performance, making it better? so better processer,graphics card?(i may be wrong) and a cool case, from a supplier that i already have an account with. Thanks
Ill shop around for abit to find them cheaper and go from there i think
Thanks guys

If you wanna play games on it like Runescape then get an Alienware. That should be suitable especially if you have that much money. o.o
