Hello everyone!

I want to build a PC that I will be using for gaming and studying and would like help in picking all the parts since I've never built a PC before.

I'd like to be able to play and stream the following games on the highest quality and probably have other background programs running (Spotify, Skype, etc...):
>League of Legends
>Dota 2
>Civilization V
>Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
>World of Warcraft

I also appreciate advice on games to play ;)

My budget for a new PC is around $900 and can maybe go up a little bit more, and I don't want to sacrifice quality for cheapness.

If you can tell me the exact parts I should get, that would be awesome!

Thanks :D

P.S. What are the internet specifications I need to stream at 720p and play at highest quality?
