Post Body

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

I intend to use this build mostly for gaming with some light schoolwork. I intend to play Modded Skyrim, Minecraft, Space Engineers, and some other titles. Mods being ENB's and other graphics mods along with story mods and such.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

I am looking to create a build that can run these games and others of the same kind at above 30fps at 1080p with high settings.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

My budget for this build is around $600 U.S. but not too much higher.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

I am purchasing my parts in the U.S. almost completely from online retailers.

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).
