The current build can be seen here:

It's ~850 once you take out windows 8.
I had originally posted this as a 900-1000 computer, but decided to take out overclocking potential and upped the graphics. This is my first build.
Approximate Purchase Date: one/two days
Budget Range: $850-950, After Rebates/Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (Skyrim), maybe Matlab, C++
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Doesn't matter, although I live literally across the street from the downtown Toronto Canada Computers.
Location: Toronto, Canada
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1600x1200 (I think; I have a 24 inch SAMSUNG LED)
Additional Comments: I'm not a huge gamer as I do not have time. Games would mostly be single player games such as Skyrim, and maybe some CS. Might also use computer for simulations, therefore good all around performance is what I am looking for. On my laptop data usage is around 120 GB, in other words, I do not need much data storage, so I opted for a sole SSD.
What do you guys think? Should I start ordering parts?
Thanks in advance.

Have fun with your first build! In about 2 years throw in a new video card and this thing will probably last you another 1-2 after that.
