I am looking for a build that I can play games like Fallout 3/NV, Bioshock Infinite, Battlefield 3, crysis 3 etc. on 1080p 50+fps on high or ultra setting with out lag, easy overclock gpu, watch and stream movies, and browse the web. I also need a monitor and OS. I'm willing to pay $730-$740 max for this build so any suggestions would be great. I also live in the U.S.

Here would be my suggestion. I went a little over your budget, but I think it is worth it to get the Radeon R9 280 GPU.

But if you just can't do that much, I will post a cheaper build as well.

Here you are. And the only real sacrifice from the other build is that the motherboard doesn't support SLI. But this price is after mail-in rebates. It is $811.88, including shipping BEFORE rebates.

I'm not how I feel about a 500w PSU and 280, other than that.. it's fine.
