My First Official PC Build

[Mystical_Mage]

I have been looking to build a PC for a while, I specked out a few systems, but deciding between them and even knowing if what I created is feasible is beyond my current abilities.

 

Budget/Location:

    I'm looking at a budget of about $1,000.00 USD. I already have a Cooler Master Elite 130 and would like to build in that. Software isn't an Issue, I have Windows/Office keys I can use.

Aim:

    Multitasking and moderate gaming, as I move forward this will be my main system.

Monitors:

    I have one 1920x1200 monitor that I can use along with a 1280x1024 monitor for multitasking.

Peripherals:

    The only new peripherals that I would need to purchase are speakers or headphones for audio.

Why:

    I will be moving to college in the next year and as I have been using my father's computer until this point.

I can personally vouch for the GPU, I use it. I does everything I need it to do efficiently.

 Elite 130 has no aio  support. Pretty bad water cooler imo.

The 130 Supports water cooling, the aio isn't the best but its a good budget option.
