Looking to take advantage of some Labor Day sales this weekend.
1000 is my limit, less would be better.
ATM this would be primarily for heavily modded Skyrim. Also Civ 5, Fallout, other Elder Scrolls, Sims, etc. No plans on future game purchases other than Sims 4.
Running 1920x1200 resolution.

Planning on reusing http://www.corsair.com/en/hx520w.html and disabling power saving mode if need be. Also have a copy of Windows 7 I am keeping.
Bangor, Maine, is the clsoest city to me, so Microcenter is out, mostly looking at Newegg because of their sales and shipping.
Not planning on overclocking at purchase, but in a few years if needed for performance(is this a dumb idea? New to OCing).
Planning on getting a second 760 at some point, depending on demands of newer games.
"And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading"
Running even unmodded Skyrim on my current system is about as smooth and stable as... as... a very not smooth and stable thing.
Now to hit publish and see what this tiny text input box looks like in an actual post...
