Hey! I am new to building PCs, and could use some help! If someone could design a build for me, that'd be great! I do need OS (Windows 7). I would much rather stay with a Intel CPU. That is almost a must! Also, I need the $1000 to include shipping, ETC. The main uses for this will be: DayZ Stand Alone, DayZ Arma 2 Mod, Arma 3, WoW, Rust and really just most of the newer gen games. I don't plan on running everything @ maxed settings, but medium would be nice. So, if someone could design me a build, and it would be MUCH appreciated if you can estimate the FPS of those games @Medium settings. Thank you so much! Also, how hard is it to build a PC and setup the bios?

only problems with the above build are to replace that HDD with a WD caviar blue. Seagate currently has one of the highest annual fail rates for HDD's. Also, for the price there's better 770 options than that gigabyte, such as asus, msi or evga cards.

Whats wrong with gigabyte? The windforce OC is one of the coolest and with high clock speed.
