Hey everyone,

I recently moved and unfortunately couldn't take my gigantic desktop my friends helped me build with me. Instead, I took out my Sandisk SSD, my EVGA GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, and a 1TB internal harddrive and have only those three parts with me. I don't have any cords at all either. I'm very new to building computers and I use the computer to play pretty graphically intense video games. I would like to rebuild my computer with up to date parts, or at least parts that are around the GTX 680 era. I live in New Jersey now and my budget is probably around $1000.00. buyCan anyone help me figure out what parts/cords I need to buy? I can have fun trying to assemble everything later.

BONUS QUESTION: I'm typing on an ASUS laptop and I want to reset everything back to it's factory settings but I lost the CD that came with my purchase; How would I go about doing everything again?
