I have been looking for parts to build a gaming pc for under 800 dollars and I just can't seem to find a solution that will work for the budget. I came here to ask the experts. Please help, thank you. By the way I would prefer windows 8 for when windows 7 loses support.
Here is what I have gotten to so far:
Intel Core i5-4590 Processor (198.99) AMAZON
WD 1TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Hard Drive WD1003FZEX ($74.50) AMAZON
Samsung 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal SSD ($99.99) Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($47.49) NEWEGG
Corsair 8gb DDR3-1333 Memory ($74.34) NEWEGG
GIGABYTE GZ-P5HB5C ATX Mid Tower Case ($23.99)
GTX 760 GPU ($259.99)
Antec Basiq BP350 350 Watt Power Supply ($29.99)
Pioneer Electronics USA Blu-Ray Combo Drive 207DBK ($42.99)
Windows 8.1 ($99.99)
Total: $952.01

Games that I will be playing:
Skyrim (modded)
Minecraft (heavily modded)
Goat Simulator
The Sims 3
Elder Scrolls Online
TF2
Dark Souls 2

So do you have any recommendations as to what a good build would be because I am not a pc master and know nothing on how to pick good parts.
 
use Radeon 3GB, better than GTX 760
and 256GB ssd
