Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me out with a $750 build with a Monitor and a Wireless Adapter. I will be playing mostly non-demanding games like CS:GO, Minecraft, etc. I may be playing a few more intense games like BF4 every now and then, but I am not expecting 100+ FPS on ultra settings for that game. I will probably just play at High, not ultra for games like that. All in All, a nice build with a monitor and Wifi will be great. Thanks guys! :D Also, can you include some FPS benchmarks for CS:GO, Minecraft, and BF4. (Estimations are ok)

I gave the less expensive build because I didnt know if you wanted OS or not. I also gave it because idk if you count the mail in rebates right away. If you have any questions feel free to ask! :)

Maybe consider something like this:

I don't have any benchmarks for you, but it should play everything on high pretty well.

CS:GO and minecraft should be no problem for this system. BF4 should play well on this system also.

The pentium cpu has an unlocked multiplier making it a fairly nice chip to have as an overclocking chip. If you ever need to get a bit more out of your CPU, pick up a cm hyper 212 evo and overclock the cpu a bit.

The r9 270 is a good card, it should be able to play battlefield on high at a good frame rate. It's got the same stream processors as the r9 270x, so you can overclock it to match r9 270x speeds.
