new Need help arming a pc !!!

[Kilo One]

Hello guys, I am kind of new to the gaming pc community and I was wondering if you can help me putting together a part list for my future build. My budget is up to $700 usd dollars and I am basically looking for a mid range pc that can handle most of the games out there at 1080p, that is up to date and overall the best bang for my buck. Thank you so much for helping me out.

Love the use of the word "arming" in your title, 13/10.

 

I'll have a partlist for you in ~5 minutes.

If you can stretch your budget 10 USD, there's this:

If you live near a Micro Center, buy your CPU and motherboard from there. The combo deal will save you quite a bit.

No SSD and inadequate RAM

How is it inadequate? 8Gb of RAM is plenty for 1080p gaming(I do speak from personal experience).

Given the tighter budget, I chose to avoid the SSD. It can always be added in later.

 

That said, some compromising can definitely be done.

Drop to a CX450M, 580 4Gb, and you might be able to fit an SSD and more RAM.

At that price point I'd look for used parts

 

Something like a 2600K or 3770K, 16GB DDR3 and a GTX 980

@Crunchy Dragon A bit over budget but managed to get 16GB and an SSD

Assuming you'll use rebates. RX 570, so slightly lower performance. If you really do believe more RAM is needed, swap the SSD for the 250GB version and add a 1TB 7200RPM 64MB HDD, and add a ≥2800MHz 2x8GB kit of RAM. Or you could get an RX 580/GTX 1060 6GB If the RAM isn't needed, and you want the extra performance.
