but i got no idea where to start, PC noob here.
budget is around 1k-1.5k?
Games -
L4D2 , maple , WOW and a few more..
kinda , longer hours gaming.
Hoping to get both storage wise and gaming wise..
Thanks in advance >.<
1k -1.5k including OS, monitor?
On the lower end of that budget,
AMD Phenom II X6 1075 + Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H - $471
Kingston ValueRAM 2GB DDR3 x2 = $58
Leadtek GTX460 1GB OC = $255
Samsung HD103SJ 1TB - $75
DVD Drive - $35
Any casing you fancy = ~$75?
Total - $969 w/o OS or monitor

Why not Intel? The current LGA1156 sockets are nearing their EOL, but the faults with the LGA1155 mainboards (specifically the chipset) are keeping them in the market for quite a bit longer. If you are able to stay off purchasing the PC until April or May, when updated mainboards arrive, I should be able to recommend an Intel-based PC.

even a noob computer com can play Maple lia0 lar
I believe current/upcoming integrated graphics solution will be more than enough to suffice for these games.
For storage, just for a big harddisk. You could even go for a few HDD if you need speed and space.
With monitor?
Athlon II X4 630
M4A88T-M EVO
4GB KVR DDR3-1333
500GB WDC Blue
Sapphire Radeon 5770VX
Antec Neo ECO 450C
CM Elite 341
Win 7 HP x64
still got $$ left for 22" monitor.
