I'm building a 700ish dollar rig and just want some opinions on what would be the best bang for my buck in every aspect. I want the Pc simply for gaming. I have no intention of doing any video or music editing. And if possible would like to run most games at Med to High settings depending on the title. All build suggestions will be very appreciated. I am a Amd fan. And would prefer a build by them. But am open to any help or suggestions. Thanks you! :) Ps, i already own my case. It's a In-Win Gt-1. And i live in canada. So everything is more expensive... :(

Right around the 700.00 mark this setup should play pretty much any game on high if not maxed out, with no problems, also got you an AMD. Also please remember to select the best solution so that others may learn from this thread. Thank you for your time.

Why only the 4130? Is that really enough?

You did say you wanted a 700 dollar budget so that is what i went with....I can make the cpu stronger but games don't utilize more then 4 cores out of a processor anyways, which is why Intel has stayed with quad cores and just made them hyper-threaded quad cores (i7). Believe it or not that little processor you are looking at would outweigh a 6-core or 8-core (barely on the 8-core) in terms of gaming. Quad cores are the standard when it comes to gaming. Besides I had to get your nice graphics card in the budget so that way you could play with better graphics. If you want me to go higher $$$ amount then I can get you a little better processor. Anyways please remember to select the best solution so that others may learn from this thread. Thank you for your time.
