im sorry, i dont have time to put each indivual part into this post

preferably within a 700 dollar budget, but that is flexible

i dont need a monitor or an OS

im getting it in 2 weeks

the purpose is playing and recording high graphics games. any recomendations would be much appreciated

im too experienced with building computers, but the parts list says that some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs. is tyhis going to be a problem?
