Hi, I am interested in building my very own gaming PC. I am new at building PCs but I have been researching PCs for about 2 months so I know what the main idea is. I was wondering if you guys could build me a gaming PC for about 800$ including a 1080p monitor and Windows 7. The price can be a little bit higher if you think I could get the same parts but cheaper during Black Friday or Cybermonday. I am hoping the PC can play graphically intensive games at 1080p on medium-high settings. Thanks for you help in advance. :D

Thats a nice build but that's a little over my price for now. Do you think I could get a similar build WITH a monitor for 800$ during black friday or cyber monday?

Oh yeah. When black friday/cyber-monday hits you should definitely be able to add a monitor in there for free.

760 performs slightly better than the 7950. I'd stick with he 760 but if you can find the 7950 for cheaper then go for it.
