Help me build a rig!

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

• Will be doing most of my gaming on this PC but I really don't play many triple A games. The main games I will be playing will be TESIV Oblivion, Skyrim, New Vegas. Nothing too heavy.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

• Anywhere up to $1000 AUD (Perhaps more if it's a decent deal). I would like to keep it as cheap as possible though.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• Asap

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

• Everything except an OS.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

• Australia

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

• I have a computer monitor here in great condition, not sure if it's any good but I'd probably like to run two screens eventually. Model is BenQ gw2255

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

• Not overly familiar with the fine details of overclocking but I would be interested in it down the line perhaps.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

• Wouldn't mind having an SSD. Even if I had a standard HDD and just use the SSD to store certain games I'm currently playing.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• I watched this dude Blunty's video about building a gaming rig on a budget and he uses a pretty cool small case for it. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5PzdrTK0o4 I thought that was pretty cool but really I have no preference.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

• No I can get that for free through my university.

Extra info or particulars:

• I'll be using the rig for gaming and my university work (bachelor of Information tech) so I'll be using SQL and things of that nature.
