Good-morning / afternoon / & or evening ladies & gentlemen,

I'm trying to build a PC mostly for gaming, but I keep getting wound up on the compatibility & capability of the parts I intend to purchase for a decent high-end desktop. I've only got a few parts now but I think I got the most integral pieces to such a puzzle; that being the motherboard & CPU IMO.

So, starting off:

Motheboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z87P-D3

Processor: Intel Core i3-4130 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 54W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4400 BX80646I34130

- - - -

With that being said, if you guys could fill me in with some gear, it would be much appreciated. I don't intend to break more than $700; but, I would like for it to be a good platform - so nothing too special.

Any help (with an explanation on why) would be verily appreciated.

Thank you.

Respectfully submitted,

Lycose.
