Well just to start off, this will be my first gaming build I plan on doing, and one that will hopefully last me a good amount of time. I'm very new though when it comes building them, and have little knowledge over what I should be throwing into this! Anyways... I wanna keep the budget within 800-850, cause tax will probably bring it to around 90, and i'll be receiving financial aid back to buy this build in mid September!

So roughly what i'm trying to do is have something very great for games like Titanfall and BF4 (1080p with ultra or at least really close to it) and at the same time I wanna be able to do a little multi-tasking. I'm gunna be using just one monitor for now so no dual-monitor. But the one thing I'd like to say is I want to stick with Asus for the motherboard, primarily because they seem to last alot longer and have alot less problems then other manufactures (Might be just my opinion but I've seen even a chart on here supporting this) But anyways if anyone would be willing to help me get started and throw a little knowledge in my head that would be awesome! I don't plan on overclocking btw, and I don't need an OS :). Thanks again everyone!

Also heres some knowledge:::

AMD CPU's normally have more cores which are better for multitasking.
Hyper 212 Evo Cooler is the best Air Cooler for cheap.
60hz on a monitor means MAX 60fps with Vsync on. Without V-Sync the screen will stutter and flash about if you get over XX frames.
someone said about the 4690K but the K means Overclockable.
ASUS mobos are good but asrock and msi boards are also pretty good.
If you see RAM and it says Latency 8 or 9 or whatever, Lower RAM latency is better. Also DDR3 1600,2133 etc Higher is better.

the CPU will do good for you with that GPU, I couldnt find a cheap Asus for you, so you might need to spend a little extra for that, just make sure its an H97 motherboard or a z97 if you can find one cheap.
