This will be my first build and I would like it to stay under $800. After research and compiling what I've seen together I came out with this system. I plan to use this for mostly gaming, streaming on TwitchTV, and watching movies. Games like BF4, DayZ, Minecraft, Witcher 2, and Skyrim will be played on it. I'm not necessarily hoping for Max settings, but relatively high settings and good FPS. I'm very much a noob when it comes to this so I'm hoping for some good guidance. Provide your tweaks please. Thanks!
