Those are the parts but the pricing is not all Amazon. I also included Windows in the price, not sure if you needed it or not.

Does those id company ships here on guam via usps? So $700 is the cheapest way to make a mid tier gaming desktop? Anyways i never had the experience on making one but im a fast learner if its just plain screw and snap but if it involves soldering then i might fail. So an tutorial fromu guys would be nice. Btw is it recommended going this route than buying a $700 dollargaming desktop? Do i get better setup with this than the premade ones? Please keep opinions coming guys.

Btw is it recommended going this route than buying a $700 dollargaming desktop? Do i get better setup than the premade ones? Please keep opinions coming guys. There is no soldering at all involved. Also, building is better than buying, as you save money. I think the above build fits your needs well.

Uhhh ok your recommendation says intel i3 3.4 gigahertz but ANHDs recommendation is intel i7 3.4 gigahertz so which one is faster? For the videocard that both of u guys recommended which is better. Btw can i just download the windows online and install it? And for windows 8.1 i heard its buggy for most games is this true? Or should i stick to windows 7 that i have in my current laptop?

An i7 isn't going to do anything for you, for games, without a graphics card. Ignore the i7 builds. The second one has a GPU, but a horrible bundled power supply. Plus it is missing parts for a full build. I cannot recommend anything but a legal copy of Windows. If by downloading, that means getting it straight from Microsoft, then yes you can. I personally would stay with Win 7. PCpartpicker just didn't have the option on an Amazon only build. The i5/270x build I posted earlier is the fastest one.

My builds have a GPU, yes. For monitor, a 1080p that you can afford, is what I would recommend. Asus, Samsung, some Acers, Dell, or LG would be my normal picks. I HAS GPU IN MY BUILD. STEAM BOX!!!!! AND I HAVE PSU WITH CASE. LISTEN TO ME IF U WANT AN I7. But i do agree you dont need an i7.
