Hey!

This is my first time building a gaming pc and I don't know much about components so I'd like to have some help in picking up the right parts.

So my budget is about 750$ and I mostly use this pc for surfing, watching movies and gaming on 1080p med/high settings.

I'm not planning on OC and I prefer hdd instead of ssd. Also optical drive and OS not needed.

Thank you!

Hey thanks for the quick response. I was just wondering what this exactly means?

"The G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.6V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum."

Might not run at 2133 but that's okay.
