$1400-1600 build advice

[destroyon]

I'd appreciate any advice on what parts I should use in the gaming rig that I will be building in three weeks. It will be my first build. I want it to be able to run fallout 3 & new vegas on ultra, and get relatively good graphics when skyrim comes out. I plan on using it for three years at least, although I probably won't need it for gaming after two years from now. I don't really want to overclock it or do any fancy stuff with the settings, so simplicity is appreciated.

Approximate Purchase Date: 3 weeks from now

Budget Range: Between $1400 and $1600


System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, general (surfing, microsoft word, ect.)


Parts Not Required: I am buying all the parts, so everything required


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, tigerdirect, maybee amazon

Country of Origin: U.S.

Parts Preferences: I would prefer the AMD 1100T BE, one of the Newer Radeon cards, and 8 gigs of ram. I am not very partial to brand though, so if there is a better deal for an intel or a NVida I could go with that.


Overclocking: no


SLI or Crossfire: maybee


Monitor Resolution: I don't care much about the resolution, but I want the size of the monitor to be somewhere around 23 or 24 inches, so whatever resolution I can get on that.


Additional Comments: I'm also getting a new keyboard & mouse (included in the budget) so recommendations for that would be great.
