I need a gaming computer for $850 building within the next 2 months. i want to play skyrim, minecraft, battlefield 4 and all the new and popular games. I don't want to have lag or anything. I would be willing to go to 1000 with shipping and taxes. I don't know what would be the proper amount of ram but i would think 8 would be enough. Please use PC parts picker for the systems.
