Hi guys,

I am rather new to everything about PC's, but I have a budget to build a PC that I want to be ale to do some things. First of all, I am building a PC (not buying) and I want it to be upgradable.

Right now, all I want from it is:

- a motherboard that supports PCi Express 3.0, SATA 3, USB 3.0, 32 GB of RAM
- any CPU/ APU
- any Graphics card
- a case with holes for cable management, that supports the motherboard
-1 TB Hardrive
- As cheap as possible (less than $800 is the aim)
-Should be able to handle most games at maxed out settings- Ultra- at 1080p, with around 60 fps. I am interested in how it could handle benchmarks like Crysis 3, Battlefield 4, and Unigine- if they can also be close to maxed out, then that would be the best.
I have a faint idea about what i want, but it's a real tossup so I was hoping that you guys might b able to help
Thanks.

Sure man. Just remember, NEVER cheap out on the power supply. It's one of the most important things you need. If you pick a very cheap one, it could fry your components.
