I am looking to build a pc that is around this $800< price range. I want to play games on high settings and run about 8-12 google chrome windows that are running live text feeds chrome extensions that need to have little to no lag. Here is what I got, what do you guys think? I wouldn't mind spending the extra $80 for the i5 4670k if its really worth the upgrade. As of now I will not over-clock, but will in the future after I learn more about it, since I have zero experience on the stuff. I plan to upgrade to liquid cooler and 8 more gb ram eventually. I want to save as much money as possible without sacrificing too much performance (so does everyone else.. I know lol)
i already have a cd drive, windows 7, monitor 1680x1050(should i upgrade? also will it be better to use a 1080p lcd 32" tv?), keyboard, mouse, and 320gb hard drive.
