Hey community! This is my first post here at the tomshardware's forum. I am not new to computers but I am looking to buy a total system upgrade. I, knowing that I am a noobie, am going to just go off the: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advice. My goal is to get a decent computer with room to upgrade in the future. Not looking to spend more then I have to but I wouldn't mind paying a extra if something is worth it.
Would like to play games (D3, Skyrim...) on a above average graphical settings. (Or higher!)
