I would like to build a gaming computer under 900 dollars that will run 60 to 100 on most games without having to have low settings, Any parts will work as long as they are compatible

Here is a non-OC build (although OC capable with an after market CPU cooler) with OS and peripherals. I don't know a lot about budget KB's and mice, but you could probably find a decent combo on newegg for around $30 so i just put in some place fillers.

Are you overclocking? Is OS included in the budget? Do you need any peripherals in the budget?

This is an OC build that will play anything on high-ultra.

Don't use a Corsair CX PSU. They use cheap capacitors and don't work properly at higher temps. On this list you want a PSU from tier 1, 2a or 2b.
