This is my first time building a computer. I would like for it to run games like Day Z, Elder scrolls online, etc.. I went to PCpartpicker.com and built this computer for $1000. if u can help me modify it to a good $850 gaming computer I would appreciate that.

CPU- AMD FX-41702 4.2GHZ Quad-Core Processor $134.98

CPU Cooler- Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler $99.99

Motherboard- ASRock 970 PRO3 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard $72.55

Memory- Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory $134.95

Storage- Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $84.99

Video Card- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB Video Card $153.57

Case- Azza Solano 1000R ATX Full Tower Case $119.99

Power Supply- Corsair Professional 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $149.99

Optical Drive- Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer $19.99

Operating System- Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) $82.99


I am tiring to get into more computer mmorpg, fps ,etc. type of games so if the computer can run most games to there full potential that would be great. I am looking forward to your responses thank you.

Get the hyper 212 evo plus CPU cooler, its airflow and its about 20 dollars, saves u 80 bucks
16gb is a lot for gaming, and i do mean a lot, u can get by on 8gb
2tb is ok if u want that much storage but usually 1tb s enought
Consider getting the GTX 770
Are u decised on a full tower case? u cna get a good mid one for 50 bucks
U dont need to spend 150 dollars on a PSU, seen some 750w from XFX bronze certified going for 80-90 bucks

I'd say don't go with Windows 7, there is just no reason anymore as the performance different is large especially when it comes down to games. If you want your start button go ahead and install this: http://www.classicshell.net/

Don't ge the asus M5a97 le if you plan to overclock. It is not a good board for OC.

Also if you don't plan to overclock, this would work:
