Hello. I need to build my own gaming PC but I have a max budget of $750. I need that to include OS as well. I will mostly play stuff like Arma 2 and 3, Garry's Mod, etc. Also I will most likely stream stuff as well. Thanks to any and all responses. And one last question, would it be worth it to save up to the $800-900 range to build a PC? I am a complete PC noob.

I seen some people suggest the i5 processor? Is there a huge difference. Also others say Windows 8 is bad because it isnt compatible for some games. Sorry I just want to know everything before I drop a lot of money.Haha.

Though make sure you don't overclock on that motherboard it'll just fuck up , i'd say get at least a 970 motherboard for overclocking a little bit , or an asrock fatal1ty 990fx killer , you'll be able to overclock alot on it ( AMD processors are known for very high overclocks )
