Budget gaming build

[MCmcginness]

Hey I am getting started in PC gaming because of the launch of the Xbox 1 and PS 4. I want to be able to play the newest games on high settings without spending to much. My budget is about 1000 USD. Here are my choices http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2oKx2 . Any advice on other parts or any ways to save money.

 

Thanks

Looks great to me!

seems solid to me

[OutlawedConsole]

yup, that looks like a fine build. Have fun

Get 280x, it has more VRAM and a large bus to accommodate for all the VRAM

Looks like a good build, even a 760 would still beat the consoles by a long-shot.

Maybe get mATX case & mobo and see if that saves you a bit of money and get a 8350 ?, but the build is very good anyway.
