Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm looking to build my very first gaming PC and have a general idea of what I want but need an expert opinion. I'm looking to build a mini atx or as small as possible gaming computer with adamant airflow. I don't want a mid tower but I'm open to suggestions. I don't have a lot of space to work with right now that's why I want a smaller PC, but I want it powerful enough to play most, if not all, games at 1080p 60fps or as close to 60fps as I can get. I also want to future proof for games like watch dogs. I'd also be willing to oc my processor and/or video card if needed.
My budget: $500-$700
Parts I was looking at:
1) Amd fx-6300($100) or fx-8320 ($130)
2) Gtx-760 ($240) or Gtx-770 ($310) or HD 7950 ($210) (over clocked)
3) Asus M5A97 ($55) or msi 970a-g46 ($30)
I chose those processors with those mother boards because my micro center has a sale right now for the prices listed above. The video cards are prices I've seen around online.
As for a case I would like one with temperature readings on the front, but is not necessary.
I was also thinking if I did over clock that I would buy the hyper evo 212, opinions on whether or not I need it?
I don't need a monitor or os. I do need a keyboard and mouse, but they can be left out of the budget if needed. Suggestions would be appreciated anyway!
Thanks for any help!
