Hi there! This is my first post on Tom's Hardware and I'm looking for some advice and a possible build for my first homebuilt desktop. I'm trying to run games like Mass Effect and Borderlands 2 on high or at least to the point where it wont constantly freeze on me. I have no preference for AMD or Intel for CPUs or any preference for video card makers.

No Peripherals and no OS will be needed.

Thank you! I really have no idea where to start out with this.
