Building a Gaming computar

[Ben Whitmore]

Hi, my name is Ben and I was informed today that a gaming computar is much cheaper to build than to buy. I'm pretty sure I have a monitor (Its a modern TV, if you could clarify that it is that would be great). I wish to play games like the upcoming battlefield 4, games like that. I also want to play minecraft, battlefield3, runescape, total war, and some others. I wish to have medium graphics, a good speed, and some memory for school work too. If you could help me out that would be great! ( sorry for my grammar)

Also, my budget is 800-1200

And im sorry I have no idea where to start, this will be my first build.

With a $1200 budget, you can easily run the games at very high settings. This is what I recommend:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K
Motherboard: ASUS Z87-K
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB
SSD: OCZ Vector 128GB
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
GPU: EVGA GTX 760
PSU: Corsair HX650
Case: Your choice, but the Corsair 200R is a very functional and cost effective case.

The build above brings you to about $1100 (with the Corsair 200R). If you want a bigger SSD, just buy the 256GB version for about $100 more.

Do you need peripherals like a mouse and keyboard? Also, do you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8?

Hey JC, you're missing some stuff there.

I always have a feeling I am missing something xD. Usually it is the SSD/HDD.
