hey guys, I would like to build my first gaming pc. my budget is somewhere around $800. It's mainly to play battlefield 3 and GTAV. Now I play on my laptop with 10 FPS and it is horrible.
this is what i've got so far. i haven't bought any of it yet, it might be a terrible combination, but i have almost no experience in building computers or anything.

I would go with AMD so you can get a better GPU. You will have better performance in games, and you could swap the HDD for an SSD, but you will want a storage drive at some point.

well this changes practically everything I had but if that's going to work, I'm more than okay with it!
one thing though: I do want to expand quite a bit in the long term. Is this going to be able to support that?

I mainly just looked for components with the same quality and performance, but for lower prices. I did not see the Corsair 500R available, so if you can get it, it's a great choice. I think you will end up with a with much better gaming experience. If you do not plan on overclocking, you can drop the CPU cooler and use the stock AMD one for now. You can add more RAM, or upgrade the CPU, or add a new GPU later. The core is solid, and while it is hard to future proof, I would imagine this lasting you a few years if gaming at 1080P.

For multiple monitors, I might suggest an AMD R9-280X or 290 to take advantage of the higher VRam. Are you gaming on one monitor but have two hooked up? If so the 770 will be fine, three monitors would necessitate something more powerful.
