I am very new to this area of computers. I am confident I can put the parts together, but I have no clue about what parts I need. I will be using the PC for gaming. I want to be able to comfortably run some of the high end games on better qualities if possible. Please help. Budget is $700 USD and does not include monitor and OS.
