$700 build help gaming pc

[Jose_N]

I need help in regards to parts i want an intel core i5 for cpu but for the rest im not sure about i know a mid tower for sure maybe something with a window on the side thank you for your help.

You don't want to get a i5 if you want the best gaming rig for 700$ I would suggest getting a 6350.

or you can save up a few hundred and go i7 and a 660ti or 770ti when it comes out

The i7 will not benefit in a gaming a rig as most games nowadays are GPU bound.

[Jose_N]

Ive been told its better to spend on gpu rather than cpu so i would like to stick with the intel core i5 ive heard good reviews on the i5 in regards to gaming rigs

The i5-3570k is a commonly use CPU in gaming rigs.

[Jose_N]

What gpu would go well with that at a reasonable price?

[nilsepils]

I'd go fx6300 and a 7870XT (sapphire or club3d) as a base, get a cheap case like the Cooler Master K280, it's quite alright for the price :)

8gb of ram, just get something that's cheap (in Holland that is Kingston HyperX or GeIL black dragon).

If you have a hard drive lying around you could get an SSD instead. Otherwise choose storage, get 1TB or something ;)

That should make a nice base, nice balanced CPU/GPU if you ask me :)

Then you'll spend more on CPU than GPU. For this amount of money for a build, its better to get an AMD cpu. Accept the truth.

yea but i do allot of Photoshop and sony vegas 12 plus cinema 4d ect (everything in adobe master collection) so thats what i think the i7 helps allot but if your not doing that get the i5 for sure

I umderstand but no i dont think ill be doing that i want the system to be purely gaming purposes

than a i5 will do the work>

Something like this should do the trick: $660 after taxes and fees,

This should be able to play all games adequately at high settings.

If you had another $100 to throw, you could get a samsung 840 120gb ssd to make it very snappy.
