    Question First time build, need help

    Hello everyone, I want to make my first gaming pc but I'm not sure how to or what to buy that wont break my pocket. Would it be posible to make a gaming pc for around 800 dollars?

    I mainly want to play WoW, diablo and titanfall. Don't need mouse or keyboard. I will need a cheap momitor.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm assuming you're from the US.

    This build will get you by, but it has a few limitations, mostly lack of SLi.

    Just realised you can drop the cpu cooler, no real need with that cpu. And it's a Z87 board, useful if you might upgrade the cpu alone but not real useful otherwise. I may of started that build with a i5. Here it is cleaned up.
