Hello, really new to making my own pc but i've been convinced it would be much more bang for my buck.

Spoiler
(Not to bribe or anything, but if someone here actually puts forth effort of getting me the computer i dream of, i'm willing to send you up to a 100$ just for taking the time and helping a fellow gamer)


So as of right now i have no idea as to what parts/components are needed for a computer to even function.


My Budget is $900 - 1400 give or take more if required.

What i'm wanting (general view) :

- I want to run games at 60+FPS even at maximum settings (DayZ, Arma 3, Battlefield, Diablo 3, etc.).

- I really hope to include GeForce GTX 780 video card or something close if it is one of the best right now.

- I want to have Dual Monitors aswell.

- I want the computer to be very appealing to the eye aswell (I like colors (no homo)). A case such as this is very appealing to me : RAIDMAX Vampire ATX-001WBTi Black Steel. It does NOT have to be that case, just showing an example.


I really don't know much about computers but i hope that one of you are willing to help me through this. As of now i'm on a 8 year old HP labtop that really needs to get replaced with a Monstrous machine. I do have skype if u wish to talk there aswell.

Very interesting, but that case you listed there is very not appealing. Do i need a certain case size for everything to fit? and did u see the reference to the type of style (aesthetics) i'm hoping to get?
