$850 pc?

Go to solution Solved by grayblizzard,

I like it, but.... Could he fit in an i5 4690k to do some overclocking because at microcenter you can get it for $199 and then you get $40 off of a motherboard when you do.. 

yes but it would be like this

Here's the build. You can find the link for the GPU here: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B00NH5T1UA/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1429550906&sr=1-5&keywords=gtx+970

 

Use the remaining money to buy the keyboard on a physical store. Peripherals HAVE to be tested with your own hands before purchasing. Just trust me on this one, you'll thank me later:

Where's the SSD?

 

Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 280 3GB TurboDuo Video Card  ($152.98 @ Newegg) 

 

You dont need SSDs with this budget, and you NEVER EVER EVER get a powercolor GPU. You just dont. Its one of the cardinal rules.

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr928wf3oc3gd<That would be a much better GPU

Drop the SSD and cpu cooler, and get a 280x. The is no need for a cpu cooler and ssd doesn't increase game performance
