hello all, first time poster and would appreciate some info. I have been a gamer for about 7 years now, and i am looking to make a damn fine computer, but stores are damn expensive, and i don't know enough to build my own (i might but i don't want the hassle of it not working), so i am going to (hopefully) have some small company build me one. so i figured i'd post on here and see what you all think. things to change, add, subtract, etc.

1. Budget: 2000-2500
2. Brands:don't care
3. Multitasking: music/games mostly
4. Gaming: oh yeah
5. Calculations: nah, too dumb to do this
6. Overclocking: don't know much about it but maybe give it a shot
7. Storage: more is better to me, movies, music, etc
8. Legacy Support: no
9. Operating System: vista 64 from what i've read, not smart enough for linux
10. Case: want a medium size, but cool (temp wise)
11. Accessories: no
12. Recycled Components: no
13. Monitor: going to get this separate, looking at a 24"
14. Stores: no
15. Location: US

this is what i have so far, in the "build it yourself" place i have found.
