Hey guys, so I'm having some trouble putting together a list of parts for a gaming computer. I would like to play the beta star citizen modules, and the full game when it comes out at medium settings. I also would like to play mine craft, titanfall, and some other future games. I only have around $700 to spend. I have heard star citizen requires a quad core processor, so just to be on the safe side at least 4 cores. I have also heard that and processors don't work as well with fairly fast ram as intel. Please help me figure out this build! Thank you for reading and please comment!
