Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, and I just wanted to say hi
I am a new PC builder and looking to build my first PC for mainly gaming, surfing the web, and watching netflix. Found this on another forum and figured it would be a good Q and A so you could get to know a little more about what I am wanting. I am debating between an i5 and i7, but with the processor+mobo combo going on right now at Microcenter I might be leaning to an i7, and thus will push the budget to around 900. I am not sure if I need a cooler or not with this build, as I don't plan to overclock.

Budget: $800-900(give or take a few dollars)
Primary Use: Moderate/Heavy Gaming
Games Played/To Be Played: Games I play are Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy XIV, Battlefield 3, and Skyrim
Currency: USD
Experience building PCs: None
Extra information: I already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
When are you buying parts?: I plan to buy parts within the next month or so.
Do you need an OS?: No, I will be running on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64 bit.
Preferred website for purchase: www.newegg.com
Overclocking?: No.
Why are you upgrading?: I currently have a laptop. It works alright for gaming, but I'd like a desktop with better gaming capabilities.
