You're kidding right? Google "gaming pc build less than 1000" and you'll find a ton of guides to help you set up a rig that can run Skyrim and Battlefield for less than $1,000.

Well, let's see... Lately I play mostly Skyrim and Battlefield 3. Sometimes I also come back to World of Tanks and Civ 5. I also just bought LA Noir: complete edition.
Also, for a gaming PC you really don't need that much $, unless you want something ridiculous. I spent around 2k$ on my rig, but it is ridiculous. For something that will fulfill all your gaming needs, if you're not tech savvy enough, check out the PC Gamer Rig articles. This should give you a rough idea of what you should be aiming at.

^ And that rig could definitely cut some corners.

Still obsessing over FIFA 12. I actually play for the England team on it :)

Just got my last achievement for Skyrim!


Now, I'm being all excited about the new South Park RPG coming out next year.

^ Meaning you got every achievement there is? Did that take an insane amount of time to do?

96 Hours and 37 Minutes.

Still playing though, lol.

The original Bioshock, a bit baffled by it thus far, buttons are far too responsive as well.

Just freeze / shock people and then bash'em over the head with your wrench ;)

Or upgrade the shotgun all the way.
