Purchase Date: Within a month to a month and a half

Budget: Max 740 with shipping and handling

System Usage: Gaming, Video recording/editing, Possibly music production

I am looking into building my own gaming "power house".

on a limited budget I know it's can't exactly happen. But I want something that I can do video recordings for games, video editing and possible music production.

I live in johnson city NY, I am curious what I can do/get that fits what I need to do. I already have a case that I am getting that's gonna cost me 80 dollars so I just require everything else.

An AMD FX-6300 or FX-6350 paired with a 7950 will run BF4 and Titanfall on Ultra settings with AA @ 1080p. Howver, the 7950's price has inflated a metric butt ton, so I would recommend the GTX 760, as it performs pretty much the same, but is much cheaper now. You should be getting 8GB of DDR3 (1600MHz or higher) RAM and a 500w PSU. Seasonic and XFX make the best power supplies. I don't really know your budget but as long as you don't spend alot on a motherboard (over $120) and more than $70 on storage (WD 7200rpm Caviar Blue 1TB), it'll run you about $700-750
