Hey guys, I'm looking to put together my first build sometime in the next few weeks, and would love some suggestions.
Approximate Purchase Date: 1-4 weeks
Budget Range: $1300 to $1500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (BF3, Witcher 2, Skyrim), Surfing the web, Video editing, MS Office
Parts Not Required: Nothing (I'm gunna start from scratch, my previous 2 Computers have been gaming laptops)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: umart.com (Australian site), or Amazon
Country of Origin: Australia
Parts Preferences: Intel i5-2500k
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Probably in the future, start with one card, then OC later on
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, 1920x1200
Additional Comments: Because I'm in Australia, I would prefer suggestions from Umart.com as it means no shipping, however I am open to buying internationally and shipping. If you are posting international builds (e.g. newegg or Amazon), please include an approximation of the shipping costs to Brisbane, Australia.

This computer will be used predominately for gaming, such as BF3, Witcher 2, but also for modding Skyrim, so it needs to be pretty beefy.
I don't mind not having an SSD, however if you can squeeze one in with the build that would be nice...
Any suggestions would be awesome, as this will be my first build, and I need all the help I can get!
