Approximate Purchase Date: within this month, or black friday

Budget Range:600 - 750
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming

Are you buying a monitor: no,
Do you need to buy OS: no
location: canada

Overclocking:Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: I will be using a 26 inch samsung tv/pc screen

First off, i want this pc for gaming only, i have a laptop and an xbox 360. I want the pc for the free mulitplayer and being able to run mods.

I prefer the pc to be at least comparably to the ps4 and maybe futureproof for the next 5 years.

I dont require that the games be on max graphic settings. I would like to play games like skyrim and lol

Any help is greatly welcomed

I'd change your CPU to like a i5-3570k, Intel processors are generally better than AMD. Good choice on CPU Cooler, video card is upto you but I'd recommend a 7950, 7870 xt, or a 660 ti.

Yea thats a bummer about the gpu prices. I'm actually switching to PC from Sony consoles. I loved my consoles, online was free. But since PC is better and free online plus all the mods.
I will probably still get a PS4 after it drops.

Much better than what you have picked out right now. Will be able to run anygame on HIgh settings.
Much more CPU power.
