So I'm looking to build a desktop. I plan to use it for gaming and would like it to be able to play pretty much anything with no problem. I'd like to keep the budget under $800 and the build I'd need would be just the tower and OS. Thank you in advance to anybody who helps out, I know literally nothing about the requirements and would appreciate it if you gave a brief explanation of why you chose the parts that you chose.

Do you mean list PC parts? You said just the tower and OS so not a 100% sure. If so here you go.

This is close to my PC. I don't play Crysis so I'm not sure how well the 760 runs it but I'm guessing 30-40 FPS. I do play BF4 which the GPU run at 50+ FPS at Ultra 1080p. So good luck and tell me if you have any questions!
