Gaming pc for $700 to $860

Nackatacka · Dec 15, 2013

8gb Memory Corsair
GTX 660(2gb memory)
AMD FX 6300 Six Core 3.50ghz
1 TB

Is this a good build? Im looking to spend about $750 to $860.
Play games like GTA 4, Arma, WOW, etc
Any suggestions on a build. I might buy from cyber power pc.

For that price I think you could get a better GPU like a 7870 or 760. Build it yourself and you'll save at least $100 and have better parts.

Do you need OS and monitor?

Just purchased that system. You can go down on the GPU to the gtx 760 and go without the CPU cooler if you don't plan on overclocking. Also there are some discounts that are not reflected in that price from places such as Newegg(like 10% off)

I was gonna get one from cyber power pc. Windows 7. And yes I have a monitor

Why not build it yourself? You get much better quality components at a cheaper price.
Do you plan on overclocking?

I have a general idea of what over clocking means but not 100%. I guess I could build it myself if it will save me a lot of money

The 8320 can overclock to 8350 levels easily.
The GTX 760 is a lot stronger than the GTX 660.
The XFX 650w gives you plenty of headroom for overclocking and future upgrades.
The Corsair 300R is a great quality case for the price with great airflow and cable management.

I really like that above build. Only thing I'd change....Windows 7 instead.
That's a beast of a build and allow you to play most games near maxed out.
