1. Budget & Location
I live in the US and my budget is 670 USD.

2. Aim
I need this build to play games like Far Cry 4, BF4, Skyrim and others on medium to ultra settings with 40+ FPS. Please tell me what settings the games I listed will be on.

3. Monitors
I dont need a monitor.

4. Peripherals

I do not need any accessories. Unless youre talking about a wireless card and an OS

 

5. Other Info

I want to play future games so a quad core would be nice. Also I would like to overclock.

 

 

Thanks guys and please tell me if I left anything you need to make this part list!

Can you up your budget at all? Without a monitor its not a problem...but with one, it gets a bit tougher. (and is an OS included in that 670?)

Well, you don't have the budget for a 4690k, and a locked i5 will beat an FX9590 (a heavily overclocked FX8320) in most games.

An i3 would be better than a G3258, and theres no reason to spend more on a motherboard than a cpu. 

Plus a WD Black really isn't worth the extra money, its not that much better considering it's an extra $20.
