Thank you, @Aydin and @Luls.

It's no problem, I was just looking for some suggestions. Thanks guys.

All of the recommendations I make are merely places to start, as I mention in pretty much every closing note.

Hopefully it will at least give you an idea of what to look for. There are many alternatives available. If you decide you need further advice, let me know. Previously, a member made the mistake of changing some of the components without first asking me and ended up seeing crippled performance due to the fact that it wasn't able to support his monitor's resolution.

Just keep that in mind. Not sure how "tech-savvy" you are, but I've seen people make this mistake far too often.

I'm really not at all, so I'll keep all your recommendations in mind. Thanks again.

For gaming, the greatest benefit is DirectX support. You should be waiting for Windows 10. It will be much better than 8/8.1.

Yeah, was definitely gonna upgrade to 10 once it's comes out.

Just so everyone knows, if you don't already: Anyone with Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free during the first year of its release. But after 12 months, you'll likely have to pay like $49.99 or something to upgrade to it (permanently).
