Need help for building a new PC

I totally got no idea how to build a PC. I will buy everything from tradepac and ask them to help me assemble it.

I have a budget of $1k to $1.2k. I need monitor keyboard and OS.

Hope I can get a cool casing too.

The only game I will be playing will be Diablo 3. At most 4 hrs playing non stop.
Will be using it for browsing internet, watch HD movie most of the time. And watching YouTube.

Can u guys help me with this?
Thank you so much!

For info, CPU refers more specifically to processor Haha. PC is a more appropriate term for the collective.

Case cooling is not mandatory.

Also do you intend to do any other thing/games with your PC other than the abovementioned.

1.2k can easily get a I5 + gtx970 system

Can actually get a nice AMD A10 Godavari with it's good iGPU and invest the savings in a big monitor.

I think he means that he wants a cool looking case, not a cooled case.

My bad. Yes I want a cool looking case =) I don't do much on my PC. Just the above I mentioned and of course download things. =)

What should I get? Please help me =)

Looks good but my advice would be to ditch that PSU and go for the seasonic 520w one like I did. Please don't skimp on PSU, if it goes, it can fry all your components along with it. Can ditch the ssd also if you're not too concerned with boot times. Windows 7 boot time is longer than windows 8 but just tong for a while until free windows 10.

The i5-4460 is the most bang for buck CPU for light gaming atm.
