So I have lowered my budget for my PC build and would like suggestions I want so be spending $750 so that way when I get an OS and monitor I don't exceed $900. (PC-Part-Picker)
So my overall hope for my first PC build is that I can play most games on high setting. I don't need to be playing battlefiled 4 on ultra setting but I still want a good experience for my money's worth.

I played around the idea of cheeper everything, CPU, motherboard, CPU Cooling, and Power Supply. But I not to sure about compatibility and heating. He's were I am now. (PC-Part-Picker) and yet it's still pricey I may look at other ram prices.

More reliable PSU and cheaper network card added. You can not use that Rosewil monstrosity, its pointless.

Other than that everything is compatible and good choices.

Changed the mobo, uses same chipset so you won't notice a difference, cheaper RAM and also a different 760, the asus is a better cooler than the msi. However I gave you a much better cpu.

If you can afford a little more look at this build, much better motherboard.
