Hi everybody! So recently i have been getting a lot of feedback on the forum about upgrading. But my PC is almost not working at all now. I need/want a PC that can game at high-ultra settings at 1080p or even on some games 1440p but is also around $800 USD. Thanks!

Where are you going to buy stuff from? Do you need OS/peripheral?

I don't need OS. But i do need peripherals. I am going to buy it from Newegg.

 

What peripherals? Monitor? speaker? mouse? keyboard?

All of the above. 

If everything from Newegg it will go overboard a bit:

 

 
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor  ($119.99 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard  ($62.00 @ Newegg) 
Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($80.98 @ Newegg) 
Video Card: HIS Radeon R9 280 3GB IceQ OC Video Card  ($239.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: Aerocool Strike-X One ATX Mid Tower Case  ($59.99 @ Newegg) 
Monitor: LG 22MP55HQ-P 60Hz 22.0" Monitor  ($99.99 @ Newegg) 
Speakers: Cyber Acoustics CA3001WB 14W 2.1ch Speakers  ($25.98 @ Newegg) 
Total: $835.82
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

If you are open to other shop too then maybe you can get a bit cheaper:

 
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor  ($114.99 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard  ($62.00 @ Newegg) 
Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($79.98 @ OutletPC) 
Video Card: HIS Radeon R9 280 3GB IceQ OC Video Card  ($189.99 @ Amazon) 
Case: Aerocool Strike-X One ATX Mid Tower Case  ($57.79 @ SuperBiiz) 
Monitor: LG 22MP55HQ-P 60Hz 22.0" Monitor  ($99.99 @ Newegg) 
Speakers: Cyber Acoustics CA3001WB 14W 2.1ch Speakers  ($18.98 @ OutletPC) 
Total: $778.06

Also my Speaker choice is totally random, I just get a cheap 2.1 channel speaker that I can find on PcPartPicker.

Good build, but as much as I love my CM Storm Devastator mouse and keyboard, I gotta recommend that he gets a separate mouse seeing as my scroll wheel on mine makes an awful noise sometimes and miss scrolls after a month of usage.
