I am new to building computers, in fact this is my first one. I am going to be using it for school (IT Class) and some fairly hard gaming (Skyrim, ESO, and Call of Duty Ghost). I am hoping the parts I have chosen will work well together. thanks in advance for your help. Really I just want to know will this machine do what I want it to do, and will the components work together? Again Thanks.
