Hey guys, over the summer I want to build a gaming pc that is mainly for CS:GO (at least 250-300 FPS) and good fps for other games such as Battle Field 4. Can anyone recommend me a good build using PartPicker.com . That would be awesome since I do not know much about Mother Boards and CPUs. As I said in the title, I can spend $1,000, but i do hope to spend a bit less. Anyway thank you and have a great day!

Basically I pretty much only play CS:GO. Right now on my laptop, hooked up to an excellent new monitor, I get around 100-120 FPS. That was fine for before but now I want my FPS to be 200-300 because it's smoother and can be played better on the competitive level. i say $1,000 because I feel as though it's a good number to start at for a PC build, however cheaper is no problem. I just don't know too much about AMD processors and graphic cards, so some builds that I received i appreciate but do not know much about :(. I'm kind of a noob lol but I was looking at the Geforce 760. Is that good?

Thanks!

Not a complete build, but I have the MSI 760 TF on my desktop with the i5-4670k and at full HD BF3 and BF4 runs quite respectably too. It probably won't ever reach over 70 FPS, but as the guy above said if your monitor can't display over 60 FPS, there aren't any view-able benefits anyway. CS:GO is definitely no problem on the 760. Pretty economical card!

ATX is the size, but the 3570k is socket 1155, meaning it has 1155 pins, whereas the Z87/Z97 boards are socket 1150, meaning they have 1150 pins, so it won't work.
