I want a gaming pc that can play games around high, on 1080p. I want to be able to play fps, and MMORPG. I want the PC to be upgradeable. Also to be able to play all the new games soon to come out..

I want to stay in 675-750 Dollar range

The build must include the OS because i have a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

You want parts like these at your core. Your bread and butter. Normally I would recommend windows 7 but go with 8.1. Windows 7 will loose mainstream support in Jan 2015

Rigs that can play high demand FPS games (Battlefield 4 as an example) on the higher settings are closer to $1500. I'll make a part list though for you to try to get a handle on what you want.

Here's mine:

Total: $761.37
CPU AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core $107.99
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $31.87
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ $74.99
Memory G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 $72.00
Storage Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $52.92
Video Card Sapphire Radeon R9 280 3GB Dual-X $205.66
Case Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower $56.98

Optical Drive LG GH24NSB0 DVD/CD Writer $13.99
Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) $102.98

Mine has a weaker cpu (that's still good) for a much better gpu compared to the previous suggestions. The gpu is the most important part for gaming.

This...this is the one. A real beaut.

6 cores at 95W will take to OC's better and most games are threaded around 4 and maybe up to 6. the 8 core is good too, but draws more power and is more effective for gamers + editors/renderers/streamers.

There is the new FX 8370 coming out though in September, maybe wait for that? its an 8 core FX at 95W !!!! should be amazing.

stock coolers are loud and annoying, most people get at least a TX3 to be silent. 212 for overclocking.

about $5 over, but with the FX-8350 8-core on sale for $149.99, its worth the extra $5. You get 8 core top end FX chip, and an R9 280 GPU plus Windows 8.1

This build is decent, but the hdd is low quality. It's made for servers, not home use. should get a better one for $10 more. I'm also not sure about the brand for the case and the psu.

Edit: Also you really don't need an 8 core for gaming. Current games don't take advantage of all the cores. I would rather take the savings from getting a lower core cpu and spread it amongst a better hdd, case etc.
