So, ive been interested in pc gaming for awhile now and i have just decided to move on from my regular pc and go for a gaming computer. I have absolutely no knowledge in putting a pc together. if someone could come up with a build for me that would be fantastic. My budget is $600 - $750

Much the same as mojos build but
smarter motherboard that will perform identically [ but you cant use two graphics cards ]

Better GTX760 with a quieter cooler

Better quality case

Cheaper , but still very good quality power supply

and windows 8 . You can add a start button , uninstall the metro apps , and RE-USE it in two more computers unlike 7 which is locked to the first motherboard
