$850 gaming build.

[Korepavore]

i plan on gaming on it and just using it for general use. would this be able to get decent settings in games and have enough for a nice keyboard and heatset? i have a mouse and a monitor already. id use windows 8 as an os. if i had to chose a color for lights and parts itd be red and black parts. i live in the united states

If you don't need the OS you can get a decent build.
