I am asking for assistance in creating a part list for a gaming pc that will cost somewhere around $800-$900. This price will include a monitor, os, key board and mouse, and all components of the pc. I would prefer for the os to be windows 8.1 (64 bit), Unless something much cheaper comes up. This computer will be for playing games such as gmod, csgo, l4d2, League of Legends, and hopefully some future titles. I would like this computer to be able to run all games on high or max settings with atleast 60 fps (Some exceptions such as crysis). I will be purchasing this computer around christmas or black friday. Thanks :D!!!

I would recommend a low grade i5 or a high grade amd processor, such as an fx 8350 for a little under 200 bucks. For your GPU I would recommend an r9 280 like this http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Radeon-Display-PCI-Express-GV-R928WF3OC-3GD/dp/B00J41A5GK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407557927&sr=8-1&keywords=amd+r9+280 or a geforce 760 superclocked like this http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-2765-KR/dp/B00DHW4HXY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407557960&sr=8-1&keywords=geforce+gtx+760 I would recommend 8 gigs of 1600 mhz ram and your motherboard is really trivial, as long as you have a pci e x16 slot and sata 6gb/s you should be fine. A 750w psu would do you good, and remember that it is always better to go overkill...

A 750w psu would do you good, and remember that it is always better to go overkill on the psu than a little under what you need. You'll probably want a mid tower to fit that beefy gpu, so I would recommend an NZXT case, as they are IMO the best cases available. Here are some good ones for cheap http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Source-210-ELITE-Midtower/dp/B005869J4O/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1407558378&sr=1-4&keywords=nzxt+computer+case http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Guardian-Tower-Black-921RB-001-BL/dp/B004351H9G/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1407558419&sr=1-1&keywords=nzxt+computer+case I hope I helped :D
