Greetings,
I'm looking for some suggestions. It has been about four years since my last build, so my knowledge base isn't what it used to be. I'm looking to build a new gaming machine for under $1000. I have the following case/PSU as well as a monitor from my last build:

I'd prefer a system I do not have to overclock. I really have no preference for processors. Thanks for your help in advance!

I realize you said you didn't want to overclock but I think you will change your mind when games get more intensive and OC'ing will benefit you. But ultimately its up to you.

I can go with a cheaper mobo if you want the price to be lower.
