I would like you guys to design me a build that can play games like wow and csgo maxed at 60fps and more demanding games like battlefield 4 and star wars battlefront at decent setting 45-60fps.

I will be playing these games at 1080p and would like to spend as little money as possible but still have a path for upgrading parts down the line.

I'm not going to give a budget because I want to see what you guys come up with, but nothing overkill for what I am looking for please.

Thank you guys so much you are always super helpful!

Due to inefficient product choices.

I didn't blame you for it. I was just answering the statement.

 

BTW show mine to your friend.

The reason I didn't pick a budget is because I wanted to see what you guys think are the best components to run these games at 1080p.

That would be 4 titian X's and an i7 extreme edition and all together that would cost $10,000.

Also best and recommended are not the same thing!

We need a budget.

That is why I said no overkill please. I don't have a 144hz monitor so I don't need a build that can reach that frame rate. I'm sorry if I made you mad but I just wanted to hear from the community and what they think is just right.

This build is good value, I would look at this. But budget is important. You should always set a budget for important things such as computer.

But that isn't very helpful when a potato can run cs:go at 60FPS. But either the posted build by @Comic_Sans_MS or the 900 dollar build I posted would serve you very well.
