Hello, I'm building my first gaming/work build for my budget of $1200. The lesser the better in terms of cost for me. My objective is a Gaming/Work build that will last me 3 to 4 years before any upgrade is needed. Oh, also I don't plan on overclocking.
Primary use: I will be doing moderate to heavy gaming in terms of play time, as well searching the web, word document, and etc.
Games and preference: Skyrim, Guild Wars 2, Deus Ex Human Revolution to name a few. Mostly AAA and AA games. Lowering setting below max isn't a problem for me to get an optimal experience but if I can achieve max it would be nice. Overall, I'm happy with being able to play any game at playable frames per second.

Also, will Windows 7 work with this combination or Windows 8? Is this a compatible system with its current parts? Is this to much for the specs and will I come out better with a gtx 760 with the same PSU or will I need to upgrade it to a more compatible and powerful PSU?
