Approximate Purchase Date: Hopefully within a few days.
Budget Range: $900 - $1100
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Office Apps for School, Internet browsing.
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com (most familiar with this one, but I will be shopping around to save some cash.)
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: No real preference; I'd rather hear a few experienced opinions than go with gut instinct.
Overclocking: Light overclocking since I've never tried it before.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future
Monitor Resolution: Haven't bought one yet but I'm 90% going for 1920x1080 unless i find a complete steal.
Additional Comments: A bit nervous because I have never built a computer before, but I enjoy the fact that I can get a more personalized build for somewhat lower cost.
I am looking to get the OS on the SSD and maybe a game or 2 on it as well with everything else, of course, on the HDD.
I am looking to play WoW and Diablo 3 for sure and want to hopefully get games like Skyrim or BF3 on high-ultra settings while staying in my price range.
Just looking for ANY advice/critique/help (i.e. "spend more money here, less money here" and "buy this part or get this brand" kinda thing).
