Here's my first attempt at building a new computer to hopefully last me a few years with games but at least be able to play the games currently at decent settings. (Far Cry 3, Skyrim)

I was hoping to be around $1000, but my current build is a little higher.

If you guys could let me know if the prices are okay, everything will fit together, and any changes to make things a little cheaper or improve things please let me know! Any help would be appreciated!
