By that i mean for Ultra at a 1080p , you will be able to get average of 40-50fps. However a little tweaking with settings (combining with high and ultra or medium @ 1080p only ) 770 can take you much higher as well.
Also there is scope of some overclocking aswell which can help you get gain by some number of FPS if needed.

The card is just great you can rely on it easily.

Also what will be ypur prefereable settings i.e. what type of settings and resolution you planning to play on?

There are definitely USB ports and an ethernet port. Most of the time you'll get a built-in Realtek sound card. The graphics card is great and overclocking is optional but do your research before overclocking.

What Sora said.

With i5 you can last long for many years. its a great CPU for good budgets. Also, the GPU can get you around 50FPS in any game. just name it!

You will have evverything you need. However if you still need a more quality Sound , then get a PCI card for sound.
But , i am sure you wont be needing anything like that. Just stick with one that comes with Motherboard and enjoy!

Its good overall.
You can do is gaming or any other task you can think of at a good performance.
These have all things you need.

And for Anti Virus , i am not sure i never use one. well for a free one i used AVG in past and it was fine

Just make sure you setup parts well. (best would be ask at local shop to make it assemble for you?)

Also, do you have a monitor?

i did said it is easy. But that depend if you feel it easy looking at various tutorials around , then its great.
And why i refering to go for shop because since its your first time , if anything go wrong you may wanna refer to their afterward.

Other wise internet is huge you can always find a solution to most of problems you might face.
So basicly if you want to try setting it up your self then its cool otherwise if you are somehow fearful if something go wrong , better go ask someone who know how it works and just contact with him.

Well one more thing getting older version isn't gonna be any worth now since few of softwares are becoming specific to windows 8 only.
And no windows 8.1 is good all you need to use it fairly. it do take up some ram but after update 1 is released mine takes up like 1GB of maximum ram by windows processes. so i think it is good.
Also for games it support modern DirectX i.e. 11.1 which older windows doesnt so i think that is also a plus point.

There is nothing like games not gonna work on windows 8.1 every game could launch up easily i have been playing over 10 year old games on it with no trouble. Also its not my personal opinion technically it should work aswell. Since there is a compatibility troubleshooter which fixes up most of thing not working due to an older version;

IN THE END everything should be fine just get 8.1..

Ye that series is good of logitech.!
