This is the best no compromise rig i could fit in that budget. I am calling it no compromise because it has an 24 inch Asus 1080p monitor. Also it has a "no compromise" 7870 Graphics Card which powerful enough to play games at 1080p high at playable frame rates. Mostly 30+ FPS. When settings are turned down to Medium it can push more than 60+ FPS. So it is much better than the 7770 you selected.

The only compromise i had to make was with the motherboard, which is not good for overclocking. But if you are not into overclocking then it would not at all be a problem. If you want to overclock then you would have to spend more bucks. So if you want to overclock then tell me, i would make some changes in that case.

The case might look...

The case might look something of a compromise but believe me it is an awesome case with good cooling and a side panel and with USB 3 port and it also comes with cable management features so it should be good for any budget build. You can check out the case features at their site http://www.cougar-world.com/products/pc_case/archon.html .

So this is a pretty solid build for a good price. So go for it. It is really one of the best budget builds that i have personally planned for someone. So this is a really good build. Go for it.

So here is the beast :
