new build Need help with a computer build.

Hey everyone,

This is my first time building a computer and i'd like some help choosing a build for it. I'd like a computer that is extremely fast and can be used for gaming on decent to high settings. Stuff like BF3, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, etc. I like hd graphics so a good video card is a must as well. My budget is about $1000 but some more could be added if its really worth it. If it helps any, i live in the U.S. and next week is black friday so there will be a lot of deals on computer parts if i look around so you could name some alternative pieces that might be a bit more expensive normally. I appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks!

Rick

Do you know where i can go online to figure out how to build this computer? it's my first time so i need as much instruction as possible especially about the bios stuff and what do you think for an os system. Windows 8 or 7?
