As the title says i'm looking to spend around 700-800 dollars to build a game pc give or take a few dollars.

.I mostly want to play League of Legends and World of Warcraft as my fps drops like crazy on my current laptop on these games even on low settings I preffrably want around 60 fps + on decent settings with no shadows

.I will be needing everything except a keyboard and mouse

thank you for any help

Good build, however I have a better graphics card and I have a monitor included, you are also over budget and using parts that are overkill for this build e.g. i5-4690 and if you get a locked chip you don't need a cooler or a z97 board, you don't need 650w to power this machine or 80+ Gold rating, everything isn't really suitable for this budget, spend better amount on the gpu

The BenQ in my build is better because it has better reviews online and also it has a HDMI slot the Hanspree doesn't also it's not worth the extra $20 for the 6350 because you won't notice the difference

The 6350 is actually a combo discount with that motherboard which makes it only $5 more than the fx 6300

MSI mobo's have a high vrm failure rate especially on their lower end boards. I would rather spend $5 more on the gigabyte 970a-ud3p which has 8+2 power phases and vrm cooling

I agree with the motherboard choice but I would go with the BenQ monitor for great gaming and you can get HDMI cables in nearly any store these days

After reviewing all suggestions and builds as well as seeking knowledge from an experienced friend id like to thank everyone for there help. but just looking at this final build linked below does this seem good enough

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Rj6RYJ

Additional I changed windows 8 to 7 as I've heard many bad things and was recommended it by several people I know in real life, is there really a big difference or is it just personal opinion

Looks good, The operating system comes down to personal preference so if you prefer windows 7 then it should be fine
