Hey guys.

I'm going do my first build since my last computer just crashed. And I wanted some advice on what parts to buy. I wish to spend about 800$.

I plan on reusing my power supply (cooler master ex2treme 525) and my graphics card (gtx 560).

I am a student so I plan to use it to do homework. But I like having a lot of tabs open and software such as iTunes outlook word etc running at the same time. I also plan on switching to pc gaming since I dont want to buy a new console. I play mainly sports and action games (ie assassins creed, I've seen the specs but don't believe them)

Thanks guys
