I would like a gaming pc in that price range that can play any of the new games on top settings if that is possible and I would like it to be quite future proof as I'm fourteen and have been saving for year and a bit and don't plan on buying another soon (don't have a job :( ) I have about 900 at the moment. Would prefer intel trying to get i5 4670k and about 8 gig of ram I'm liking 2133 MHz but not sure if I can budget that in.

Thanks in advance.
 
you can start from here
good luck young man :)

AMD Radeon has a really good start for a computer. Typically, buying faster RAM isn't needed as faster RAM doesn't provide any advantage over 1600MHz in gaming. That will save you some money.

In the $1300 budget, does that include the OS and Peripherals (ie mouse, keyboard, monitor etc)?
