I have been interested in building my own computer for a while now, but i'm only 15 and obviously don't have a lot of money. I just saved up about 5 grand, and am letting aside about 2k for a computer, but here's the thing, I have no idea what to get! That 2 bills includes things like a monitor and speakers too, so don't forget that. One thing i've been hung up on is a graphics card. I think i'm gonna grab myself an amd card, as they seem to have more options for all budgets. I was looking at both the 7950 and the 7870, both the HIS IceQ ones. I've heard that kind is very cool and quiet, which is very important to me. For those of you interested, here is my amazing computer specs I have now. Gets about 10fps in Battlefield 1942!

So now that you know where i'm coming from, hopefully ya'll can get me a head start, because really, at this point in time, i'm so unsure what to get because no matter what I get in the end, it is certainly gonna be better than what I have now!
I usually play casual games, like world of warcraft, but I do also enjoy playing my favorite game, Battlefield 3, but sadly i've been bound to an xbox 360 crapbox because i'm not too sure my piece of sh*t can run it I will be playing at 1080p, and am hoping for at least 60 fps in all my games.
All the best,
Will
