I have decided I need a new computer and want to try my hand at building. I have been researching around and been looking for good parts and prices. I want to building a computer for gaming on high to ultra settings on games like Diablo III or SWTOR, maybe Skyrim.

My budget is $800-$1000. I need everything.

I have had this set-up recommended to me, is it good or should I adjust things?
