I know next to nothing when it come to building computers; and I want to build a gaming rig. I dont know what things go with what for compatability.
My budget right now is $900, but I dont necessarily need the comp right now (unless I can get a decent rig). My budget will go up next payday. Any clue where I should start?

edit: not in the US so shipping would be insane.
