Hello, I am building a gaming rig. Need everything. Monitor, keyboard, everything. Budget is 1200$ tops. Thank you in advance for your time. Would prefer AMD but definitely open to suggestion.

^ That's going to be a great rig. Only thing that I would say is that I would drop the power supply down to a G-550 and try to get a good gaming mouse and a mechanical keyboard - it makes a nice difference.

Would $1300 be too much because this is a solid build, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Gi7a

HiTechObsessed :

That's definitely a nice setup! Everything I want to see for sure. I'm going to get started on it. I absolutely can not wait! Thank you for your time. Definitely appreciated. And one more question if I may? Any particular reason you would go with the MSI 770 over say, an EVGA or another brands version?

HiTechObsessed · Jan 24, 2014

That is the Lightning version from MSI. It comes very highly overclocked stock, and they are generally very overclockable from there as well. I have the 760 version, and it boosts all the way to 1300MHz by itself, which puts me just about to reference 770 lol

If you don't like the look of it, EVGA, ASUS and Gigabyte make great versions of the card as well, I just love the Lightning/Hawk series from MSI.

Enjoy it man, gonna be a hell of a setup, especially for that price
