I asked about a build about 3 months ago but I decided to just wait instead and get more money for a much faster and beastly computer. Now considering the new games coming and that came up like Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein. The Metro Redux upcoming also. I would really like a rig that will possibly run this games at ultra or max with a stable 30fps+. My budge is around 900 - 1000. Include a keyboard and mouse and whatever is necessary for gaming. I'll take care of the monitor. Thanks guys.

There isn't CPU overclocking in this option. But the CPU will outperform the 8320 if its just gaming.

graphics card is different but you'll still have an enjoyable experience in most games, I'd imagine.

It should be able run newer games at 30fps+ in higher settings, someone else can correct me on this.

Can you please pick me an intel based build so I can have more options. Also I would love it if the motherboard can crossfire or SLI. Thanks :)
