$800 Build

[Domogenesis]

I've looked at the sticky that has the $810 build, but I'm wondering if you guys agree with it or if you can recommend anything better? I'm looking to build a new desktop from scratch that I hope to play newer games on relatively high settings (BF4, Titanfall, etc). As for my monitor, I'm currently using a TV as that's 1600x900 resolution and I'm set for a mouse and keyboard. Eventually I'll upgrade the monitor, but it isn't the highest priority at the moment. I would put my budget in the 800-850 area. This is my first time building a computer so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You probably don't have an OS as well?
Win7 is 85$ http://pcpartpicker.com/part/microsoft-os-gfc02050

Awesome, thanks a ton! Another question, what about a USB port/Ethernet? Is that something else that i would need to add on?

[Deleted]

The motherboards have built in USB ( usually around 6 on the back panel ) and ethernet ports so that wont be a problem

Also I will add one more system here.

The difference here is mostly down to the CPU, the one I chose is slower than what Cyrops posted and it can not be overclocked so due to that I chose a cheaper motherboard and no extra heatsink. In games this cpu will not hold you back much.

Also this system has a much better graphics card so once you start maxing out the settings this system will provide with a higher overall fps.
