Hello guys, I plan to be building a desktop for my university years and would like some guidance. I'm currently studying Computer Science, and so would like to have a powerful (but of course affordable) computer for around 1000$ (before monitor). Gaming will surely be done on this computer.

I've done a few builds, but my main request is for someone to post all the components I will need to be able to run the computer and connect to the internet.

I know:

Case
Motherboard
Power Supply
CPU
RAM
Graphics Card (Optional if there is onboard, necessity for me)
Sound Card (Optional)
Hard Drive
CD/DVD drive

And operating system is a given.

So my question is, what am I missing if anything? I would imagine I need some sort of wireless internet card, but I'm not sure.
