It's been a long time since I've replaced components of a pc or built one, so I'm really out dated and a bit lost. Been doing some searching and reading to come up with a cheap, but what I think is an effective build for what I need, however some input would be appreciated.
Basically I'm trying to build a PC that would function alright for games like Skyrim at High settings, though I won't be gaming on it that much to be honest. The PC is more intended for game development purposes, using a combination of Unity, 3ds Max 9, and Photoshop CS3. The reason I only need it to be able to play games to the quality of Skyrim is that I will not be creating anything visually superior to that game.
With all that being said, If anyone thinks I can change parts to reduce costs, or finds any incompatibilities in this setup, I'm open to advise. Here is what I've picked out, I know the CPU isn't great, but I can upgrade in the near future unless anyone thinks it should prioritize over the Graphics Card.
