So i have been hunting for parts and saving up money for a while now and now feel it is the time to see why they call PC gaming the Master race

The parts i have collected have been checked with my PC savvy friend and he thinks this rig will work

As far as performance goes, i want to run battlefield, CS:GO, Batman: Arkham origins, and other such games and a good frame rate (45-60) I am transitioning from XBOX so 40 frames looks good to me but makes others cringe. Basically i don't need to run ARMA or Cry-engine on ultra but would like a decent (50 or 60) and constant(ish) frame rate for most games

Parts List:
-Tower: Thermaltake core V71 Extreme full tower (it says compatible with liquid cooling but i am using fans)

-Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

-CPU/Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell Quad Core 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670K

-Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 770

-Hard Drive: Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST1000NM0053 1 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

-Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 220-G2-0750-XR 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 plus gold certified full modular Power Supply intel 4th gen CPU compatible

-RAM sticks: G.SKILL Ripjaws X series 16GB (2x 8GB sticks) 240 pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GXM


All of the parts i found on newegg. My budget is about 1300 dollars

Thanks for everyone who has helped me or can help me transition into this because it has been very helpful

^Agreed. Picking up an SSD is one of the best things you could possibly do to make your PC actually feel faster and more responsive. I didn't believe it either before I bought one myself, but I don't think I'll ever be able to go back. For a $1300 build, it's a must-have in my opinion. Other than that, your build looks great. You might be able to save some money on a smaller power supply by going with something from the Seasonic M12II series, which has quite a good reputation, but on the other hand it's nice to have some extra power for future upgrades... that would have to be your call.

Happy building! :)

Overall thats a great setup but if I may suggest one thing, you may want an ssd for some games and your OS. If you don't plan to buy an ssd you may want to check out this:

thank you, i was going to include an SSD but forgot (my mistake). I heard that it is well worth about 100 dollars for the benefit it gives you, thanks for the help

Here is a full newegg build for $1300 including OS. I dropped down to 8gb RAM as that is all you will need for gaming. I also went for the MSI 770 as it fits the red/black colour scheme and has a very quiet cooler, although there are cheaper 770's available.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($239.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($124.99 @ Newegg)

Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($90.98 @ Newegg)

But if you shop around you can save nearly $100 on the exact same parts which you can put into better parts or a nice mechanical keyboard.
