Could you post a $600-$700 build that would have amazing performance, but also be able to play HD game graphics without lag or problems? Thank-you.
Like, I want to be able to have a graphic-intensive game up but have multiple programs open without any lag or delays & such. Thank-you.

a GTX780 fits that price range and should be able to handle that.

Oh, wait, you want a whole PC for that price range with "amazing" graphics. You're going to have to adjust ur perception of "amazing" or adjust ur budget.

You might be able to fit the new GTX760 into that price range, but it'll be a VERY tight budget...

760 isn't released yet but benchmarks show promising results for such a low price. If you can afford it, upgrade to something like the 7950.

Pretty much what I mean is I want to play games in their highest HD options without lag or anything. I was just giving WoW as an example game. I checked out Battlefield 3 too, because I know that's pretty graphic-intensive, and the highest settings were 28 FPS for the Radeon HD 7870. Still fine, though, which someone has suggested me. How good would this build be?:
