What parts should I get?

teddy baltz · Feb 16, 2014

I'm doing my first PC build, and was wondering if anybody could tell me what parts would be most important for gaming, and if you have any recommendations for what parts I should get with a budget around $725.
Thanks!

I'm getting an i5 350k processor with a z77 extreme4 socket lga 1155 atx intel motherboard and 8gb of ram. I'm wondering if you think any of these components could be replaced with something better and your opinion on what graphics card would be best at around 150. I'm currently looking at the Asus nvidia geforce gtx 650 it oxygen 2gb gddr5 VGA/hdmi PCI express video card as my number 1 choice, but would still like your opinion.
Is that enough?

Location means what country do you live in. Is the monitor part of the $750 budget or on a separate budget? Do you need an operating system or do you already have one?

Sorry I live in Maryland in the us. The monitor is on a separate budget of around 60-70 bucks and I'm going to be running Linux
