CPU - Intel Core i7-980X Extreme - This is around $1100

GPU - ATI HD5970 - Which is around $500

Motherboard - ASUS LGA 1366 - Intel X58 - Republic of Gamers - ATX Motherboard Rampage III Extreme - Which is around $300



However these will far exceed your price so i suggest



CPU - AMD 1090T 3.20 GHz 6 Core - Around $220

GPU - ATI HD5870 - Around $400

Motherboard - Asus Crosshair IV Formula - Around $200



And as SSD is really good for loading games and textures i think you could get a good SSD for $200 which would make a brilliant system which is future proof aswell.|||Newegg has a combo deal on an ASUS Sabertooth X58 mobo and Core i7-950 CPU (quad-core 3.06GHz) for $479:

The fastest video cards you can buy are based on ATI's Radeon 5970 twin-GPU design. There's one available for $499 and a final price of $469 after a $30 rebate:

That would put you just under the $1000 limit. Or save money on the video card and go with a Radeon 5870 instead. Here's one for $270 after a $30 rebate:

I'm recommending these based on personal experience -- I have a similar ASUS motherboard, a slower 2.80GHz Core i7 and a Radeon 5850 video card, and the rig will play any game, even Crysis: Warhead at max resolution. If you can afford the extra cash for the 5970 it's worth it. It's essentially two 5870s on a single card, and you don't get exactly double the performance of a 5870, but pretty close.

Check tigerdirect and newegg for mobo/cpu combos or you can buy them individually. There really is no great answer to your question, just shop around and check out user reviews on the sites.|||AMD phenom x4 955 + msi 870-gd54 (get the 965 if you wanna overclock)

OR

Intel i5-760+msi p55a gd65 (yeah i like msi)

+

the Nvidia gtx 460 1gb or the AMD 6850/6870. (6870 if you're willing to spend a little more)

You won't need any more than 4gigs of RAM, so don't waste any money on like 16gb or something. Get a good casing with at least 2 fans, and a 500watt PSU at least.|||intel core i7

Gigabyte EX58-UD5 or similar lg1336 mobo for it

geforce gtx 450/radeon hd 5770
