PC Under Let's Say $1,000

[HowBoutDemPats12]

Alright, I could care less whether it's AMD or Intel. I will never, ever attempt to overclock it. The games I wish to play are Minecraft (heavily modded, my current PC runs out of memory), Terraria, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Skyrim (also heavily modded, PC barely runs it at 60 fps on Medium settings), Payday 2, World of Warcraft, Rift, etc. nothing too intensive but my current PC just can't handle any games, already have the monitor, and keyboard and mouse (monitor is 1920x1080). I'd prefer to have 16GB of RAM and a graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, any build suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
