Hey guys. I Think I'm about ready to start building my own PC, as people say it's somewhat easy. I don't know much about PCs but hopefully everything goes swell. Since I don't know much I was wondering if one kind fellow could help me with making a build for gaming? My budget is 1300 and I play mostly steam games (Skyrim, dota, defiance) and mobas like LoL and then some mmos like Diablo 3 and gw2. Thanks sooo much for the help :)

For the games you play you could definitely get away with a way cheaper build. Maybe around $600 or less, otherwise if you plan to play other games like crysis 3 and bf4 thats when you would go in the thousands range.

Post back to me on which price range you prefer.

Hey and thanks for the quick response :). I guess I could drop my budget down a little considering the games I play aren't really that graphically intense. Would a 1000$ build be good? Because I also don't want to have to worry about upgrading in the future.

Easily max out most games, and should handle more intense games like bf4 really well in case you decide to try those out later on.
