Hello I need help with an Intel build for $800 I have a parts list here, http://pcpartpicker.com/user/avenetador/saved/6Wzkcf That contains certain components that I preferably would like in the system, the build must have a Intel i5 or higher, I am going to be running some math and engineering, programs and some games like BF 3, It must include a 17-19 inch lcd 1080p monitor, Any and every suggestions are welcome and if there is a better parts list then what I have please let me know, I am building this for a college PC and need it to have long lasting parts, and be reliable. Thanks!

I went with a physically small build in case you need a lil portability. This is a great build though.
