Is it possible to build a gaming pc for under a grand? This computer will be used from graphic design/multimedia (flash video creation, photoshop, etc.) It will also be playing games such as WoW, Portal 2, and maybe even Crysis 2. Any recommendation on how this could be done would be greatly appreciated. If you believe the system I'm looking for will cost over 1,000 please explain why. And thank you!

Answer
Yes, It is, IF you choose the right spec and build it your self. And If by "under a grand" you mean under 1000 $, here's my recommendation :

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3,2 ghz
MoBo Biostar TA890GXB
HDD 1TB WD
RAM DDR3 2x2 GB
XFX HD6850 GPU
PSU CORSAIR pure 600W

In total, it's about 8.2 million rupiahs....roughly US$950, includes the chassis, DVD Drive, logitech Mouse+Keyboard & logitech Speaker. US$1070 with windows 7 home premium. (Excluding the Monitor)

Yeah maybe that price is a bit...high, but you'll be able to play heavy games like crysis 2 on full HD and high settings without lags or something like that.

Also, these I got these price from a local store here in Indonesia. You might be able to find cheaper ones online, or where you live.

there is a gaming site that does the most power for a gaming pc in a budget. eg $1000 every month.

52fps.

just scroll down and you will see the $1000 build.
if you are not overclocking then dont get the extra cpu cooler. an OS is not included in the price.

as for a monitor, try this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052&cm_re=monitors_23-_-24-236-052-_-Product

there is over 1200 reviews about it, so its pretty good.
dont forget, the bigger the monitor (resolution) the more pressure on your graphics card.

also here is a good guide for assembly, with pics.
