    Got a Job

    Well finally I would be able to work at my relatives Car Wash which ill be getting paid 300-400 every 2 weeks or so. I really wanted to save up that cash and finally build a gaming PC. Any suggestions how much should I budget for making the PC? Also really I like and want fancy, but I really don't want to go overboard and regret putting a bunch money on a rig. Ill probably playing GTA 5, Black Ops 2 and BF4. So any suggestions?

    Also @Dave84311 you better help me like you said when I get the money.

    1. What's your budget?
    2. Do you need peripherals?

    I'm going to guess you don't need the peripherals as it doesn't say that anywhere, I still need to know the absolute maximum you're willing to pay.
    Here's what I came up with, case if your choice and the GPU isn't the best, but it should be able to play those game.
    $1000-1500 for the budget would be the best option.
    ************ part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

    CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($219.98 @ Outlet PC)
    Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z77 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($232.97 @ Outlet PC)
    Memory: Corsair XMS3 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($117.99 @ Newegg)

    Max I'm willing to pay is $800 - $900. Most likely I will end up getting the expensive thing refunded.

    i7 is a bit too much for your budget.
    The list isn't generated, made using PC-Part-Picker.

    @Scumbag I spent between 900-1000$ and I run about 200 FPS on Max settings on bf3 and very good on games such as bo2 skyrim etc. I built it like you are. I will post some ideas when I get home.

    How much FPS do you get when recording with Fraps on max HQ? I'm going to be doing a lot of heavy video editing and stuff.
