Have decided to build a gaming PC but need help making a build with all peripherals included. What I have right now is a 1tb 7200rpm HDD, and an Optical Drive. I want to be able to play all the newest games maxed out with no lag. My only preference is that the case be a http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-sgc1000...

I'd prefer you dont go over the 1200$ price point but if its a tiny bit over thats alright, just stay as close as possible

There you go, took out the ssd, hdd and optical drive. I would suggest getting an ssd down the road as it will speed up your system. You can add an ssd now, but it would mean dropping to a lower cpu or gpu, and the trade off would not be worth it for you at this moment.

I would personally go for the AMD build because you can put more money into the GPU. On the Intel I would actually suggest a GTX 760 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx760dc2o... because on amazon, you cant get a R9 280 for under 1200 but you can get a 760.
