Thinking of starting my first PC build over the summer to replace my current laptop, I'm going to go for a desktop and have started selecting parts. I'll use the computer mostly for 'high end' gaming, so games like skyrim on max settings (if possible). Currently im running an i7 2675-QM with 8 gb ram, running amd radeon 6750m and intel hd graphics 3000 so the new build should be a large improvement, below is what I have so far, with prices from pcpartpicker, it is around the right price but I have a bit of wriggle room, thanks
