Okay, so I'm going to build my PC, but I'm not sure what components should I go with.
Things I am going to do:
- Virtual Machines.
- New Games, such as Titanfall, Minecraft, Skyrim and Battlefield.

Any ideas on components?

I can't really tell the amount...
But I want one that would run the things I mentioned without lag.
(Of course, I won't use them all in the one time.)

EDIT: I won't get Titanfall so only Minecraft, Skyrim and Battlefield.
