Hi, i'm looking for a good gaming PC for about $1200
I would like to play new games on highest graphics and mod Skyrim.
I want to know what would be the best setup at the moment for this price range.
I would also like some recommendations about a monitor, for about $250.

Looks good, you may get a Z MoBo for SLI ability in future. But then you'd also need to upgrade PSU, try if you can accomodate a 750W and Z97 EXTREME3.
