The $600-$700 is for the components excluding the monitor. I would like to be able to upgrade the parts later and maybe overclock later down the line. I'm looking to play games like starcraft 2, guild wars 2, and other mmorpgs. Also maybe spme
first person shooters. I always play games on medium to low graphics even if my computer can run it on ultra settings.

Please and Thank you!!!
 
We would need to know purchase location to make a suggestion. Additional useful information would include whether you needed peripherals and/or an OS, and whether overclocking capability is a deal-breaker for you (it can be a bit hard to fit in at this budget).

Hd 7870 is more powerfull then a gtx 650ti
But i5-4570 is better then fx 6300. but cpu plays mostly a secondary role in gaming.
