The old thread has reached 80 pages, and has been filled with many builds that the very helpful members of MyFrag have all contributed too.
IMPORTANT
However a problem with people changing the limit on prices, asking people to put together build estimates without knowing the costs, and people generally not knowing what they are talking about has occurred. It is acknowledged that build prices do change due to everyday life, however the number of people that have been changing the price (from 3000 in some cases to 1000...) is getting out of hand. Therefore i have created this form:

i would go the v9, it is more tried and true if you know what i mean.
There are better coolermaster cases for the same money though.

i added nothing.

you mean apart from being bigger? not only in physical size but in power output? I can't imagine what would be better about a bigger psu.
Generally with most systems these days, a minimum of 600w is advised.
I mean seriously, don't cheap out on the power supply, cos if they go they can pull a kamikaze and wreck your motherboard.

I changed the MotherBoard and i took out the Fan.

OK, first of all, that is not a build under $1000, that is a tower build for around $1000.

MSY charge $70 to build the pc.
That cooler is good.
Might I suggest looking at AMD as their cpus are now really really well priced.
That GPU is absolute balls.

Cos I have a bit of downtime I'll look up some parts for ya.

You dont need that motherboard, and you have barely given him any room to work with. That motherboard has onboard and shiz, thats all that makes it that expensive, put the money into a graphics card rather than spending pointless money on onboard graphics

Fine fine. I'll ask my uncle if i can take apart his old Dell Optiplex GX260. And maybe i'll even do more. But the only reason i'm afraid is because i don't have the Right Equipment

Or can someone link me to a How to build video on youtube?
