I have been planing on building a PC for a while but i need some help lowering the price but keeping the same experience that i would have with this PC i want to build.

I hope to get it closer to $ 1,200 to $ 1,300. 

 

I am going to mostly be using this for PC gaming mostly FPS and games close to them i want to be able to run them at 60fps and higher with high to ultra settings. I would also use it for content creation and browsing the internet.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you going to overclock? Is your budget $1,300?

Get a 4690k, cheaper Z97 motherboard, 8gb of RAM, 120gb SSD, 1TB HDD, maybe drop some of the fans or get a case with plenty of decent fans built in (450D?) and you should be good to go.

@OP Go with this build, you can lower your RAM to 8GB and spend the saved money on something else.
