Also what OS should I got with for a better gaming experience? Windows 7 64-bit or windows 8.1 64-bit?

Contrary to popular belief, both Windows offer good gaming experience, it is just based purely on each of their own taste. I personally like Windows 8 more but you might not.

I think everyone will agree that this is a much better build for gaming http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2PkOb

Like I said, 25 years old and my first gaming PC build. Wasn't too sure on what to look for. Wish I would have found this site earlier but haven't really researched this stuff until recently... :/

Finally have a great stable job and can afford to upgrade from my laptop and do some real gaming

Kyle Colburn :

Don't worry, the parts in the link I gave you will handle everything you throw at it at high-ultra at 60fps or more

i5 > fx 6300

Scremin34Egl :

that was my thought too after looking at reviews on the products

Kyle Colburn :

i5 3550p is of ivy bridge which is already outdated by haswell and upcoming haswell-e. The am3+ platform will allow you to upgrade to FX 8350 or so on. The FX 6300 will give you about the same performance as i5 3550p if you overclock it
