gaming rig plan

BBQ_King · Aug 25, 2014

Guys can ypu recommend me a gaming rig that can play games like metro last light, assassins creed, watch dogs, BF4, and CoD. Budget is around $800. And want an intel cpu and asus mobo. In terms of gpu, amd or nvidia is fine. (Can a gtx 780 or r9 290 fit in a $800 budget?)

for a 290 or 780 you might need a $1000 budget along with a 4690k.
