Hey, I am getting back into PC gaming since a 4 year break. With Diablo 3 and the new Counter-Strike coming out, my current laptop won't be much help.

Requirements:

-$1000 Budget for everything!
-20"+ Monitor
-Good left and right stereo
-Wireless mouse, none of this mini mouses cause I have big hands
-Good keyboard, cable or wireless
-Intel preferred
-Wireless N+ card
-OS: I guess windows 7?
-HD: Less 300g. I Have no need for a terra. So faster the better. If SSD is in my price range that would be great!
-Dvd drive, no need for blu-ray.

All I will use this desktop for is internet surfing, Diablo 3, and Counter-strike Global Offensive. That's it!

Thanks for any advice!

You'll have to take off the & # 13 that Vital adds to the links.

If you look around Toms Hardware you'll also find reviews of cases, etc. They used to do monitor reviews and other stuff but haven't seen those as much lately.
