Hello there, I am in need of a new computer system and decided that at the ripe age of 20, it is time to learn how to build and put one together myself. I spent the past couple of days reviewing forums and sites on what I need, what it compatible with what, and so on and so forth. I have compiled a pretty basic list of components and was wondering if someone much more experienced than I am, could look them over and tell me if this system would be good or bad, and if everything would work together.

The grand total of the build comes out to $837.68 plus various rebates. I am on a somewhat tight budget around the $800 price tag (already a lil over budget) so I would like to know if everything will mesh together before I drop $800 on this learning experience.

I am not looking for the end all be all highest of high end gaming rigs, but I am looking for a good solid foundation to start learning and be able to upgrade upon in the future. The types of games I would like to be able to run and mediumish/high setting are Tera, League of Legends, and possibly Diablo 3.

Thanks for taking the time to read and review this and for helping me with my endeavors.
