First time build

[Hawx62]

Hey guys, my main goal is to build a decent gaming system for $750 USD and I am a total newbie lol.  I am not concerned with overclocking or anything special, just a good quality build.  I am dedicating $750 +/-$50 to the tower, I have peripherals and monitors covered.  The computer would be running an assortment of games but I'm not expecting to run max settings or looking for insane fps.  If you guys could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.   Also, I would like to run 2 monitors if that makes any difference.  Thanks again.

Pretty much any modern video card is going to support up to 3 display outputs, but this should be good, for a bit more cash you could go with a Xeon 1231v3 which would give you more threads for less need to upgrade in the future, but that would put it past 800 dollars or so
