    Before I pull the trigger 740$ budget build

    Hey everyone, I've put together a build after lurking around here for a month ago and would like all suggestions to improving its performance for the price. I'm looking to get suggestions on my 740$ budget gaming build that'll hopefully run most modern games on high-ultra settings. I live in the US but sadly I don't have any microcenter near me, I'd also like to only order from one online store. I've put together a build for around 750$ before rebates/after shipping check it out and please keep the budget under 750$(before rebates).

    Personal opinion, save the money and buy a PC when you can afford to spend a bit more on it. Nothing good ever comes out of buying a cheap PC.

    Home page dolphin build is just what you aim.

    But just like Malecesar I'm not a fan of "budget" build (dolphin still being decent, you will be able to play on it don't get me wrong). If you can afford the wait and sparing go for ~1k$ imo.

    I'm buying it today, this is my budget I can't save anymore.

    How can I expect this build to run WoW, and say BF4?

    Something quick I whipped up, total comes out to 786.90, but after MIR drops to 701.90.

    I went for the 4670k because while you probably won't Overclock right now, it will give you the opportunity to if you ever decide to take this build to the next level. The rest of the build I went rather cheap. Best of luck friend.

    Am I missing something? I don't see a build listed anywhere, so have no idea how to improve it, or how itll run.
