Approximate Purchase Date: in a month

Budget Range: $800-$1000

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Video Editing and maybe recording

Are you buying a monitor: No I have a monitor already

Parts to Upgrade: Full, New Build

Do you need to buy OS: Yes I need it to be windows 7. Windows 8 looks confusing.
.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon

Location: Indianapolis, IN

Parts Preferences: Graphics Card: Nvidia
CPU: Intel (But if not possible fine with AMD)
OS: Windows 7

Overclocking: yes

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080p

Additional Comments: I want to play skyrim using a good enb and some other games like tomb raider on high/ultra settings.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I want to play the newest games using higher resolutions and I want to be able to run some older emulator games that require a good rig.

Extra note: I am a noob when it comes to installing computer parts, but youtube exists so I think I can handle it.

Why do you keep recommending a nonoverclockable build when he clearly said Overclocking:Yes in the description?
