Hey guys, I am planning to build my first ever gaming rig soon, I have a budget of $1000 MAX though. I do not need a monitor since I have my TV that I can use for a while then get a monitor but for now I want to focus more on the build not the monitor so yeah. Anyways, I need the build with OS, Keyboard/Mouse(I already chose, ill link it), and thats it. Thanks in advance.

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)
Soon, not sure of the exact date but soon.

Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping
$1000 Max

System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: Folding@Home, gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies)
Gaming, streaming, photo/video editing, surfing the internet, watching movies.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes / No
I do not need a monitor.



Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) **Include Power Supply Make & Model If Re-using**
None, first ever build.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes / No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.

Yes, I would like Windows 8.1

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing)
Does not Matter.

Location: City, State/Region, Country - we need to know where these parts are being assembled and whether there are good store-only deals available
San Diego, CA, USA

Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: I would like to upgrade to Intel CPU)
Intel please, I do not like AMD.

Overclocking: Yes / No / Maybe
Maybe in the future, not now though.

SLI or Crossfire: Yes / No / Maybe
Maybe after a few years not now.

Your Monitor Resolution: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or if you're upgrading please state what you'd want to get)
I have a Samsung small tv.

Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC. Please also list specific software or games you're using)
I would like it to run DayZ, BF4, LOL, Arma3, Infinite Crisis, Skyrim on High-Ultra settings with no problem if possible.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: (e.g. I'm having trouble running game X or my PSU broke)
I want to get into PC gaming more, I do not like consoles, I got bored of them and my friends are going to PC also.

Keyboard I want to get:
CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Combo Bundle (Blue Edition)

a bit above your budget because of the OS, you can downgrade to a 200R to save cash.
