I have Asked many times on many different forums and I do get very nice answers I am having a hard time coming up with a $900 gaming pc build for gaming only. I don't make videos and I don't make renders. Just play games. I'm wondering if I could have some help.
I would like to incorporate A Nvidia GPU over AMD. But for the CPU I don't mind AMD. I plan to play games at 1080p at high to highest settings. I need a wireless card if the motherboard does not have it.
this is one build I made but it doesn't fit into my budget.

If you want to overclock go with AMD, otherwise go with the intel build. There's no need for a 4gb card unless you're playing heavily modded games or high texture games.

I shifted around some of the other stuff and got an awesome rig. This is a combo heavy parts list but if you jump on it its a really great deal. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XLfXYJ The GPU is huge step up with 4g memory. I have used this GPU in a previous build and its wonderful. 3 fans included with the case so you don't have to buy those. The ACX EVGA card has great cooling as well.
