1st build help

Ok so I'll be going off to college next year and I'm going to need a computer for both gaming and school work. I've never been a pc gamer, so I don't know a whole lot about what goes into the computer itself. Can you help me build a good computer on a 700-1000 dollar budget. Im going to need everything including a screen and all that. I dont know about software? does that come with the parts? Im new to this so Any help will be appreciated.

 

Watch the videos first, it helps.

thank you. I also need a mouse keyboard and screen. Any suggestions?

depends on how much you want to spend.

also everyone likes different kind of switches. shape of mouse etc. so it's hard for us/me to find something that fits exactly you, i could only reccommend what i'd buy

- steelseries 6gv2

- roccat kone+

 

just add a mouse and a better keyboard http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rBnZ

 Razer products will serve you well

This one will do you good. If you need an OS, your school should be selling flavors for cheap

alright i really like this build and i think im going to go with this one. What kind of software should i get i was thinking windows 7. Do i get a 64 bit or 32 bit?

64 bit. 32 bit doesn't recognize more than 4GB of ram

Read what I just said will ya?

wait so you didnt put a cpu cooler on this one do i need one?

Not unless you really want to OC( even the stock cooler can manage a small OC). If you want one, you can pick up a CM Hyper 212 Evo for $25-$30

Ok thanks you have been extremely helpful. Last question do I need an ssd like those otherpeople's were talking about?
