I am looking to get into pc gaming. I want to be able to run games like Bf3 at high and Crisis 3 at medium. At 1080p. I do not want to over lock any of my parts.
My budget needs to include a decent gaming mouse and keyboard. And an Os. And one last thing, I live in Hawaii so shipping is going to be about an extra 50 bucks.
I have two builds in mind

1st build is good but since your not overclocking the aftermarket cooler wont be of any use. and try to get 2X4 GB memory kits for dual channel for higher memory performance. if you want you can save that extra 30 bucks or you can buy a higher performing card like Radeon HD 7870 XT for close to 250$

go with the build suggested by Madn3ss795 but get 2x4gb memory sticks for using dual channel
there are ways to improve the build but they will increase the cost so if u can increase ur budget let us know

Thanks! I was wondering if I should put more money into my build and I wanted to know what you think, I want to run most games at high 1080p. Would spending more money into my build just be overkill? or will it be money well spent.

the person who told u that is wrong ssd decreases the booting and game loading time but offers no improvements in the gaming performance
use the money for getting hd 7950 it is a very good card and overclocks well
u can ssd later it is a good buy but not if u have to compromise ur gpu
