Basically, I need a good gaming PC that'll play all the current games at a good (or at least adequate) setting and more.

Approximate Purchase Date: This week
Budget Range: $900-1,000

Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor (using my TV for now), Speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: Using an Intel build right now
Overclocking: Maybe in the future
SLI or Crossfire: Probably not
Monitor Resolution: I'm pretty sure my TV supports 1920x1080.
Additional Comments: Nothing too loud
