So as stated in the title I have never built a computer before and would love some help from experienced users such as most people on this site. Here is something you can copy and paste into your post.... then just plug in your own data:


Approximate Purchase Date: I'd say about the time of Black Friday for the deals


Budget Range:I guess from 700-900$


System Usage from Most to Least Important:Gaming especially bf4


Parts Not Required:I have none except a crappy monitor


Preferred Website(s) for Parts I really have no preference :


Country United States california:


Parts Preferences none here as well since I know next to nothing about it:


Overclocking:no


SLI or Crossfire:I don't know either but w/e is the best price to performance


Monitor Resolution:anything that works good with the computer build


Additional Comments:I would like to thank anyone trying to help me I have no OS system at hand so please include that into the budget ( win7

Anything you "need" you will have to obviously buy on your own. The motherboard has 2 x16 PCIe slots so yes you can have two video cards. The build can't really overclock though. If you're looking to over clock then you want a "K" processor and a motherboard that supports overclocking. But with that you'll have to put more money into the build or get a cheaper video card.
