I am looking into building a new computer soon but i don't have any experience with computer builds. I want it to be able to get 45-60 Fps on the newer games on the market like Bf4, or Watchdogs. If possible i like some features with Geforce cards but I can live with Amd.(I'm not a hardcore fan of either) Also if it can be done i would like a motherboard that agrees with the Graphics card and can do crossfire or sli, if i upgrade the power supply at a later date. If someone could please put together a build that will give me those kind of results and include everything i would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance.:)

Nice build but drop the extra ram 4x1 GB. More ram chips means more chances to fail.

If you are getting this build get a much cheaper/smaller psu the 750ti will run on a 300 watt psu. Give me an hour Ill throw up a build as well?

Completely agree with spentshells above.

No idea why did you decide it was a good idea to add that 1x 4 GB in there - to ruin the dual channel on purpose? Not to mention that 8 GB is more than enough.

Also the PSU... 750 W for a single 750 Ti? This card can easily run on a non-branded 300W PSU. And no matter how popular Wi-Fi adapters may become popular I would rather stick to wired network when comes down to games.

So to sum up - get rid of the OS as I'm sure the OP already has one, get rid of the unnecessary 1x4GB Ram and with the money you save swap the GPU for an R9 280x or similar.

Well, in your original post when you said a "I'm looking into building a new computer" it sounded like you already had one and just wanted to build a new one, that's why I thought you could just use the OS from your old PC and save yourself money. If you don't have a computer at all then that's a different story.

And to your question - no, OS doesn't come with the CPU.

P.S. And when I come to think of it I think you are confusing CPU and PC. CPU is the processor or Central Processing Unit which is just one of the pars of a PC - which stands for Personal Computer.
