Hello fellow gamers and engineers,

 

I am thinking about building my own computer but the budget is $800-$900 including the monitor and peripherals (mouse and keyboard). I don't believe in mail in rebates and I would like the shipments from only Newegg and amazon. I also want aesthetics if possible (same color for mono and memory). I want to play CSGO, mine craft, and maybe H1Z1. 

 

Thanks for the suggestions in advance

No my good sir I don't need an OS, but thank you for asking

ok then hear you go. i believe this is your best option http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mZ3czy

 

you can do whatever you want with the extra 25 bucks. maybe get a cpu cooler or spend a bit more on the motherboard. your choice.

 

i didn't relies your budget was 800 - 900 so i made it 800. but if you dont want to spend anymore then this is good.

Totally. Great for games and definitely makes the OS insanely fast (depending on the SSD, avoid Kingston).

Kingston Fury and Kingston Hyper 3X are good, others are questionable though.

If I got a MOBO and intel mobo bundle at micro center you reckon I'd get a good deal?

do I really need a 750w psu?

If you want to crossfire in the future yes, if you don't plan on so you can get away with a 550W-600W.

Make sure its a good deal, a i5 and a good H97 board with crossfire support (if you think you need it) would be nice.

CX is not the PSU to go for. Go for EVGA B2, XFX XTR/TS, EVGA GS/G2 instead. The Corsair is quite cheaply built and mediocre for the price.

i5 4670k - Z87X-UD3H - EVGA GTX 670 Sig 2 - Samsung 840 Evo 250GB - 8GB Avexir Core White 1600Mhz - Corsair 750D w/ RGB LED Mod & Remote Control - 2x SP120 - 3x Enermax Cluster - 2TB Seagate SSHD - Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 - SuperFlower Leadex Gold 750W
