1. Budget & Location
My budget is $1000 US. Please only include the computer components i the budget, I plan on saving up for and buying peripherals later.

2. Aim
Gaming is what will be done primarily(Skyrim, Fallout, other rpg's). i would rather not overclock and i would like to stick to air cooling due to this being my first build. though i am willing to try if i would see significant improvement 

3. Monitors
would like to run on 1 curved monitor (to be decided and purchased later) 

 

4. Peripherals
will be buying windows (also not part of the $1000 budget)

5. Why are you upgrading?

 I have only played on console in the past and I want to see what I'm missing out on in terms of graphics.
