In need of a new computer

Choose amd or intel, pick a cheap mobo, a decent psu, 4-8gb of ram, a dvd drive, a case, windows 7 and a video card until you hit $1000.

Find a processor i5 or i7 don't really need to get a extreme or anything even a i5 can max out CF. Then get a motherboard that's compatible and a powersupply. +motherboard which can fit the video card your purchasing.

The build list:

CPU

Core i5 2500K

$220

Don't really need a sound card or video card for crossfire because your graphics card is pretty much useless for CF. Graphics card which I personally like is Nvidia Gforce GTX 560

just buy like a i5 or i7 920 and you can max it out :P.

Get a 20,21 inch monitor if you don't already have one.

get rid of the os, and torrent than buy a monitor with that 100

4 or more GB of RAM mean, what you must install Win7 x64.

NVidia graphics better (less troubles with drivers and overheating)

Not necessarily true. ATi cards offer more power for the price any how. Have a look at this link, it shows the best value GPUs currently on the market.

Need a computer that can max out CF. It seems building one is the cheapest way but I know nothing about finding the right parts, just putting it all together.

$1000 budget
150+ fps in cf

Found it.
Alienware m11x. M11X kinda suck. Try m14x $400 more.
MY alienware fps: 180 - 200
