Hey so I'm just going to start out by saying that I don't know a lot about making computers. I've been doing research for the past couple of days, and have gotten together a wishlist of parts that I'm fairly certain are compatible and would work well. The only thing I have right now is a mouse (was for my laptop), so I need everything that is needed to build a computer.

I'm on an around $1,000 budget, and am hoping for a semi-nice gaming computer that can run games like GW2, BF3, and Skyrim on high- max graphics.



Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Next Month

Budget Range: 800-1100 After Rebates;After Shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Homework, Surfing the Internet, Watching Videos

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Parts to Upgrade: Need to buy everything

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

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

Location: Sedro-Wooller, Washington, USA

Parts Preferences: I don't really mind, I just want what works best for my price.

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (For the one I have picked out)

Additional Comments: None really, just don't know much about building computers

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Need a desktop

Here is my newegg wishlist build: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=21341745
I can edit in the parts here later, don't have time right now.

Thanks for the help! :)
