Hello all, new to the forum here, been asking around from place to place about advice on my first build here, feel like I've been getting some good advice, just wondering if anyone here has some different advice.
As the title says, I'm looking for a middle-of-the-road priced, solid gaming PC, I'll most likely be running @ 1920x1080 for most games I'll be playing (BF3. SC2, etc.) I'm pretty much set @ a budget of $1000 for case + internal parts. I'll worry about a monitor/keyboard/mouse separately. I am enrolled in a college that provides Windows software to the students, so that is also not a big deal.
As for the actual components I have selected, here they are:
