So my budget range is $850 after shipping

System Usage from most to least important: Mostly for gaming and surfing the web

Are you buying a monitor: No i have a monitor already

Preferred Website(s) for parts: I dont have a specific site or sites just whatever site has that cheapest part

Location: Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Parts Preferences: 16 gigs of ram, or 8 if you think that would be enough, intel i5-3570k for the processor, and lastly for the case Apevia X-Trooper Mid Tower with Blue LED

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Additional Comments: This is my first build so i need all the help i can get. And I don't know a whole lot on computers so whatever you recommend i will look into. The games i will be playing on the computer will be Battlefield 4, Assasin's Creed, and Call of Duty i would like to play all those games on their highest settings and have about 60 fps if i can. Thats about it so if anyone could help me with this build that would be great! Thank You!

You don't need the 3570k if you're not overclocking, it's a waste of money. This build will be very quiet, and the 770 will get you the best graphics at this budget. 8GB of RAM is plenty for gaming :)

this meets all your prferences except its 8gb ram, cuz you really dont need 16gb, and the same model case but they didnt have blue so i picked green/black. also includes OS, and wifi adapter cuz idk if you need it. EDIT found the case you wanted. and for gaming, this cpu is a little overkill, and you could spend the saved money on a better gpu. but this is what you wanted, so here it is :D only thing is that it wont play max settings at 1080, maybe high-very high at 1080p, or very high-ultra at 720p

Do this. It is MUCH MUCH MUCH more powerful than the build below it. The difference between barely medium and full max settings.

Go for tiny voices build but try to get a better PSU, the (XFX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V) that danbuscus put in his build is a good one or a Seasonic. The corsair cx (builder series) are corsair's least reliable psu so try to spring a bit more cash on the hardware that could (literally) make or break your system.
