Hey guy's, I've been looking for a decent gaming computer now and I've learned that its better and cheaper to build one on your own. I'm looking to play games like bf4, arma 3, and so on. Im looking to play on high on 1080p. This is going to be a brand new build so It's going to have to include the operating system. My budget limit is 700$ USD.
