Budget is 1k real life isk.

I will have to buy a monitor and keyboard with that budget.
Anyone up to date recently with computer parts?
Anyone know the best bang for you buck vid card?

I am partial to AMD because I feel like I can get the best value/cost. But if you can convince me otherwise, I would love to hear it.
I shop newegg usually.
