I have some extra cash and can afford to go about 800 for my first pc build. Im putting it together myself and need some advice on the parts since I have no idea what I'm doing on that end. I used the template so i hope that's ok.

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Next week
Budget Range: 800 can go 850 if need be

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Games (Skyrim, DMC etc, various mmos) Photoshop

Are you buying a monitor: Yes ( but I'd rather cut it out and have a decent computer if the monitor drops the overall quality)

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Doesn't matter.

Location: Orlando, FL USA

Parts Preferences: Cpu and Video: Whatever offers the best performance within my range

Overclocking: No I want this to last awhile.

SLI or Crossfire: I don't think I will not hardcore enough.

Your Monitor Resolution: I suck at this so whatever is good I guess :)

Additional Comments: I don't care about flashiness if costs are kept low who cares. I use photoshop

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm using a 10 year old computer I have a "If it's not broken why fix" attitude but enough is enough it's time to put this thing in the hall of fame.

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend waiting about a week. The new Intel processors are coming out on the 3rd, and if you plan on using this computer for a long time, the performance improvements would make a difference.
