Could someone recommend me a build for $750, it's for my friend, he never does anything else then gaming so I guess that should help, only hardware for a rig no monitor keyboard etc... Thanks!

Emmh... Maybe consider killing yourself before you talk to me?

 

Pople on this forum though some of them had a brain, turns out, no.

If it's just for gaming so I'd spend less on the CPU and get 770 instead.

As stated, hardware.

And thanks MoYo, someone said that a AMD r9 280x would be better?

Yes the 280x would be better and you should get it... if it is available. They appear to be out of stock in most US stores because everybody buys them for mining (bitcoin, litecoin...). Also prices have increased because of this.

Maybe drop to a fx 6300 but not a fx4130 imo.

Do I need a sound card if he's only gonna use headset, and why a 6 coreish processor for gaming? Is the new games (bf4) gonna use more than 4 processors?

Emmh... Maybe consider killing yourself before you talk to me?

Depends on the headset but probably not.

New games are using more than 4 cores.
