Yet another Gaming PC for $800 build

Pharaoh_Amaranth · Dec 24, 2013

(PLEASE READ)
I want to make my first gaming pc build. I have no idea what to use, so go slow lol
I don't need a monitor included in the price (I am getting it separately, Acer H236HL), nor keyboard (have the Challenger gaming keyboard ultimate), nor mouse (have the anker), nor operating system (I have copies of both Win 7 & 8).

But other than that, I have no clue what I should use. I want to be able to play games like BF4, Skyrim, MMORPGs, etc. Yes, I would like to dual monitor in the future with the monitor that I listed, no I don't know what overclocking is. lol

-The FX-8350 is AMD's top of the line processor. It's a great processor for the price.
-The 990FX board is the best chipset you can get for an AMD processor. Great power phases and VRMs for future overclocking.
-A GTX 770 can max out anything at 1080p.

If you want to run r9-270x and using a 650watt PSU will allow you the option of adding a second card later on if you want too
