New computer

Frank:
So yeah. I've been told I will get a) a new PC; b) a new laptop; or c) a new PC and a new laptop by the end ofthis year.
Since I'm gonna study computer engineering, my family thinks I'll need the best I can get. Therefore, within an unknown but approximate budget, I've got to make any of these. I will NOT get just a new laptop. I'd rather get a not great PC and an okay laptop. But overall my focus is still desktop.


Within US$700 and US$1200, I believe is what they can afford.

If you have any suggestions or suggested builds OR parts, post them here. Y'all are thank'd in advance.

P.S.: Only the computer itself is needed, peripherals are just extras, which I'm okay with the ones I already have.

Viole:
You could always custom build a pretty good desktop for around $600-700, and spend up to $500 for a cheap APU laptop that can game better than Chris's lemon

With the new AMD GPU's coming out, you can hit a pretty nice budget build that can play games better than mine  :-[

Frank:
Yes, I want a custom built PC. I'll get the parts and then, most likely, build it myself. The laptop I find not so important.

Viole:
Are you choosing any set form factor? As that amount of money you can get a nice M-ITX build   ^-^

I do think you should wait until you can get those one of those new AMD cards, but I didn't look at their pricings yet.

Frank:
I currently have this:

Motherboard
BIOSTAR H55 HD LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Processor
Intel Core i3 540  @ 3.07GHz

Graphics card
EVGA GeForce GTS 250 1GB

RAM
Kingston 4GB Dual-Channel DDR3

Case

I want at least an i5, a GeForce 650, and 8GBs of RAM. That's my minimum standard.


Without much or in-depth analysing, I made this:
