Hi! I'm new to building computers but I wanted to get your guys input on a Windows desktop I'm planning on putting together.
I use the internet heavily, whether it be playing multiplayer games, skype, or youtube/general internet browsing. Because of this I would think I'd need a better wifi card, but I don't have room in the budget. Are their any parts that I can skimp to balance this all out?
I play games like Spore, Simcity 5, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (The new 4 will be coming out soon), Terraria, Sims 3, Portal 2, Battlefield 4, Blackops 2, Minecraft, Starbound, (I want to be able to play the upcoming Dying Light), etc games like that. (I have a weird mixture in game tastes lol).
I also use programs like Photoshop and Flash CS6.

Are their any parts that I could swap out for cheaper but still get good performance? Is the one fan I have on the list enough?
Honestly I've gone over my budget of 1,200 (including a monitor).
Would you guys be willing to help me configure a computer that's suited for my needs? I'm a complete newbie when if comes to this and I don't want to mess up.
Thanks!
