Hey guys! Ive been looking into getting a new PC for a while. I have an old laptop that I currently use for school and gaming, but I can barely run games on the lowest settings.
Recently I have been seriously looking into how to build a good gaming computer. I have researched a lot of parts and put what I thought was best. I will mostly use this computer for semi-serious gaming: Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Warframe, and Battlefield 4. In addition to gaming, I also do video editing and the occasional programming and would like to do some mining. My price range is about $800-900 but I could go up to around $1000 if necessary.
Here is the build that I have thought of so far:

Also, I am not sure what video card to get or what one I would need to perform well in these tasks (The 280x was one that a friend had recommended, but if possible, I would like to spend less than that for my GPU)
Any comments or tips that you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
