Ok so I am moving from console gaming, since I am just plain bored of it and want change so i'm going to get into pc gaming. I will have Just around eight hundred ($800) dollars to spend on it. This does not include the monitor, keyboard, or os. I have a build in mind but would like to hear your opinions first. I would like to play games like Battlefeild, Far Cry, Crisis, among many others on highest settings possible in this price.
Thank you for your expertise,
Jeff

Ok so you would sugest the 8320 over the 6300 is there a big difference. I've heard its better sometimes to have less cores that are more efficient then more that arnt is this true
