"Want To Build Your Own Gaming Computer For Under $1000?
Here's How To Do It ..."

Have you ever wished you could build your very own gaming computer at a cheap price? Gaming computers sold by manufacturers like Alienware, Gateway or Dell will cost a lot more money, anywhere from $2000 to $4000.

In my new 67-page eBook How To Build A Gaming Computer For Under $1000, I show you how to build your own gaming computer for under $1000 - without compromising the quality of hardware and gaming performance.

I know how hard trying to build your own computer can be. As a newbie to the world of computer building you have to learn how to select the best components, pick up various new technical terms like PCI Express, SATA and RAID, and also grapple with installing and configuring the hardware.

Even for seasoned computer builders, getting a list of the best components and still staying within your budget can be a challenge.

My eBook How To Build A Gaming Computer For Under $1000 aims to solve all these problems. I will show you how to select each and every component for new gaming computer. I will recommend the latest components to be used and where you can buy them (updated as at Mar 2009).

I will show you, step-by-step and with full picture illustrations, how to install and configure every component in your new gaming rig.

I will give you the best practices in setting up your computer so you don't have to make the mistakes I made when I first learnt to build my own PC (believe me, there are MANY areas where you can trip up).

I've been building computers for 15 years now. I started off trying to get my computer to work with the latest games in the early 1990s - and in the process went through a lot of frustration and pain.

With each computer I built, I gained valuable experience and have kept up with the latest computer technologies. How To Build A Gaming Computer For Under $1000 is a culmination of my experience in building gaming computers, presented in one easy-to-read volume.

Here's a portion of my Table of Contents in the eBook How To Build A Gaming Computer For Under $1000. Each section in the 67 pages is explained in painstaking detail, with over 50 full-color photos.

"How Do I Buy The Best Components
For My Gaming Computer?"

Selecting and buying the best components for your gaming rig is THE most important part of the computer building process.

Select the wrong CPU, motherboard, video card or some other component and you'll build a system that works but does not deliver the gaming performance you need.

Do yourself a favor and read How To Build A Gaming Computer For Under $1000. It will help you:

• Save time on finding the correct components because every component you need is already painstakingly researched and spelt out.
  
• Get the latest components you need as at Mar 2009 - you won't get some outdated list of computer hardware you neither want nor need. We're talking about top-notch components like an Intel Quad Core processor, 4GB of RAM and an 8800 GT nVidia graphics card running on a gorgeous 22 inch monitor - with the total cost below $1000.
  
• Extract the best value out of your computer building budget by limiting the cost of the whole system to under $1000 - it is extremely hard to find a good "off-the-shelf" gaming computer at this price.
  
• Obtain all the components you need for building that gaming computer - and I mean ALL the components. We're talking about the CPU, RAM, motherboard, video card, hard drive, optical drive, computer case, monitor, sound card, keyboard and mouse - the whole works. Not some partial list of hardware. This is a list of EVERYTHING you need - all for under $1000.
  
• Buy ONLY the components you need to build an exceptional gaming computer - but nothing more so that you don't spend unnecessarily on unwanted components.
  
• The best places to buy those components so you can take advantage of special deals and discounts. Don't end up paying more than you have to for a particular component.
  
• Select the best components so you can optimize 3D gaming performance - there is a world of difference between building a GAMING computer and a normal run-of-the-mill computer.
  
• Zoom in on the best combo deals that will save you money For example, buying specific components together will be much cheaper than buying them separately - these secrets are revealed in my recommended product list.
  
• Ensure that all components selected work together seamlessly. For example, did you know that specific RAM modules might not work with motherboards? Or that some motherboards are not suitable for the CPU you've chosen? Follow my advice in the eBook and avoid these frustrating problems.
  
• Rest easy knowing that your gaming computer will last you a long time because of its cutting-edge components.
  
• Perform further upgrades on the basic gaming computer you've built for even better performance and speed. This expandability is assured because I recommend components which have room for expansion. For example, the motherboard I have chosen will include expansion options such as more RAM or a RAID configuration for enhanced hard disk performance and data reliability.
  
• Learn about the latest technologies like Quad Core CPUs, PCI Express, SATA, RAID because each of the components I recommend are state-of-the-art.
