You can build a very good gaming PC for $700. $1000 will get you a gaming PC that's almost cutting edge.
Look for a quad-core processor. The best processors for gaming are the Intel Core i5-2000 series processors. The i5-2500K is popular because it's the olny one that can be overclocked. The AMD Phenom II X4 processors are acceptable.
A card like the GTX 560 or the Radeon 6850 are the minimum for a good gaming PC. All Radeon cards have a native HDMI slot.
You should be able to find a good motherboard for $130. Spending more gets you more overclocking and Hard Drive Raid features.
A DVD/RW drive costs $20
You will have to pay for good internet service to have great internet download speeds. A $400 dual-core budget computer is more than capable of handling a 65mbps internet connection. Any custom built computer will have no problem.
Having 2 or 3 hard drives in Raid 0 will help your loading times in games. I would suggest a Samsung Spinpoint F3 1tb Hard drive.
