hi guys, hoping to get a mid range rig recommendation for gaming, web surfing, watching movies. budget $1300 - $1600.

i intend to max games like witcher 2, total war shogun 2, civilization 5, batman arkham city at 1080p on a single monitor.

not planning to OC. will need all peripherals, incl monitor, keyboard, wireless card but no need mouse.

on a side note, due to not having air cond, my room can get hot occasionally, hope for a case with good airflow & is stock heatsink good enough? bros can rec a good price/performance heatsink?

i expect dust to accumulate more quickly as well since my rig will be placed on the floor, can recommend any good dust filters as well?

appreciate any advice, thanks.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM ~ $115
Dell S2340L 23inch eIPS Panel ~ $209 (Upcoming Comex deal)
CM Quickfire TK mechanical keyboard ~ $139 (might be cheaper in Comex)

Total ~ $1624. Buy at tradepac. DIY <---- If you do not know how to diy.

Cheaper keyboard alternative:

Logitech G105 Gaming keyboard ~ $65

The rest of the budget will go to the wifi card that you will need. Wifi card will depend on your subscription speed from your ISP.

I recommend a mechanical keyboard for your gaming needs, it is worth it and extremely lasting. But if you want to keep within the budget, a normal Logitech G105 will do just fine.
