I am a college student who's looking to build a superb pc for under $1000. I am not interested in using it for gaming so I do not believe I will need a GPU, which should allow me more flexibility with other parts. I am leaning towards an Intel i5-4570 processor and want to build the computer around that. As for the motherboard, I am not sure whether i need anything better than a B85 and am looking for advice on that. As for RAM I am looking at 2x4GB and for memory a SSD plus a 1TB HHD. Overall I just want a reliable computer that will handle my basic needs with ease.

Approximate Purchase Date:
Within next week (before 1-25-14)

Budget Range:
$600 - $1000

System Usage from Most to Least Important:
School work, some video/photo editing

Parts Not Required:
GPU

Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Newegg/Amazon/whatever is cheapest

Country:
USA

Parts Preferences:
Intel i5 processor

Overclocking:
Do not care for this
