Hi,
I'm looking for a $800-900 build which will be used primarily for gaming only. I play a variety of games like APB: Reloaded (very cpu intensive), Blacklight: Retribution, and would like to start playing BF3/4 etc. I hope to run these games on max or very high settings at 1080p with 60 fps+. I think this is a realistic goal, but I could always scale the resolution down if needed to achieve that amount of fps. I will be using NCIX (Canada) and this price should include the $50 build fee. With taxes included I'm hoping not to go over $1000. I do not need an OS, monitor, peripherals etc. Help would be appreciated :)

These builds all seem a bit too expensive, I was thinking more around $850 maximum. What about AMD CPUs and GPUS?

I would recommend you only Intel build for much better single core performance compared to AMD :)
