Hey guys, i'm looking at building a gaming pc for around 600-800, looking to play Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, BF3 etc...

I need an OS and I have a monitor for now but it it's dvi I think (wide white connector) will I need a new lead for it work with a new build?

Also need a new keyboard/mouse so any suggestions would be nice.

Thanks!
