yikes
check out the buying/posting guide in my signature for some pointers, there is a "lowest reccomended" rig there as well as some other pricing options and some advice on how to spend on a tight budget
1000-1500 is a HUGE range in gaming PCs, so if you can lock down a better top out price that will help us make suggestions for you
