Buliding a gaming pc

Pcgamer9741 · Nov 5, 2013

I am looking to build a gaming pc. I want to be able to play newer games on pc like battlefield 4, arma 3, and dayz at medium to high graphics at good frames. I am ok with building my own pc. I can spend between $500 and $600 on parts. Can someone please recommend parts that can fit in my budget and be able to run newer games efficiently

This build should last you a while and should play those games at very high settings easily, overclock the FX-6300 for better results

An alternative would be with the 7870 XT which performs like a 7950 but runs pretty warm
