Search for any of FatherXmas's posts in this very forum, and follow his links in his signature. He has two builds (not sure if/when he'll update them, but they're reasonably current.)
Edit: Link to his guide. Last update in july. Parts lists in the signature.
(Edit2: As a side note, working up a system for myself for next year - basic parts, $637, though I splurged on the case@$200. Depending on which way I go with MB/CPU/RAM, the rest is running $490 - $625, and I may get a less expensive MB for teh second system (1156 based.) So, $1127-$!260, with areas that can be reduced.)
Right now I'm considering replacing my $1200 build with one based on an i5-750, 4GB of DDR3-1333 Cas 7 memory and a GTX 275. Only reason I haven't changed it yet is because I can't find a 3rd party socket 1156 cooler, that's in stock, to my liking.
Getting close. Maybe by this weekend.

New i5-750 based $1200 rig at NewEgg. Will post changes and reasons in my guide thread later this weekend.
Happy T-day people. Gobble Gobble.

I know with GR coming soon* this won't be a very clear cut answer, but that's ok, I just need to be pointed in the right direction. As the title says I'm looking to get a new PC, with a budget of $1200. I would personally like to be able to play 2 or 3 accounts smoothly. I don't have any experience dual wielding accounts, so any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
