Hi, I actually do not recommend getting an Intel i5. You can get way better performance out of and AMD FX processor then an i5. Therefore, I would recommend getting this build. I know it's not all you wanted but it's a $700 gaming build I'm planning on getting. I hope this answered your question. Cheers!

Hey thanks for the reply!

Like I said in the title, I don't need a gpu because I got An MSI 770 Lightning.

And also, It's in UK pounds so that's about $850 converted to US dollars. Are you sure about the FX? I favor the i5 more for gaming I know it's not much of a difference but I can spend more money on that.
