Approximate Purchase Date: No real rush to get it.
Budget Range: $1000, maybe 1100 pushing it hard but I'd like to stay under 1,000 if possible.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming/General web browsing/watching lots of Youtube and Netflix/minor video editing.
Parts Not Required:
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg/Amazon.
Country: United States
Parts Preferences: I prefer Intel for the CPU, the GPU is up in the air. I want to use a HAF 922 case for the spacious room and multiple fans.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: None
Monitor Resolution: Currently 720p, but I'm separately getting a 1920x1080 monitor.
Additional Comments:
-I'll be installing the Windows 7 OS, so that must be included in the price.
-If possible I'd like to be able to run Skyrim on ultra setting and Battlefield 3 on mid-high settings for this build, though, I realize that's really cutting it close.
-A mouse and keyboard must also be included in the price, I have head phones so I don't need speakers.
-I prefer a very silent system as my computer is set up in the same room as my baby son.
Any additional builder advice would be great. I've never built a system before, but I've gone over a lot of how-to videos and guides so I'm probably set already but more information never hurts.
