Here you go, I did the best I could with you givin price and the details. I hope its...You? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/f4zxVn

The difference between AMD and Intel processors are their Price/Performance comparison. AMd has okay performance for budget PCs and will serve you well. Intel have excellent performance but are for high budget computer build and have very little problems as well

heres a good OCable setup for a below $700 budget.
and i included ODD incase you install OS thru cd

tiny voices · Oct 20, 2014

I would NOT get anything less than a 1080p monitor. That is pointless for a build like this.

A 1080p monitor can be had at 22" for $100.

Shamar Holtz · Oct 20, 2014

Well add that to my list!

tiny voices · Oct 20, 2014

No, have a look at the other build posted. It is WAY better and actually uses the full $700 OP said we could use.

patrichpachich · Oct 20, 2014

tiny voices :

yeah im agree with it. Im really satisfied on my 21.5'' aoc. and i dont planning to get bigger monitor in the future
thanks.

tiny voices · Oct 20, 2014

Nope. OP, DO NOT get the monitor listed in the build. Get this instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gateway-monitor-umww3aaa02

It will be WAY better than an ancient 1600x900 monitor.

patrichpachich · Oct 20, 2014

thats a good on his budget. but never heard that brand.
if he can just raise his budget then he can get good monitor with 1080p reso.

Shamar Holtz · Oct 20, 2014

Oh! the builld was from 600 - 700! For some reason while i was building it i was thinking to myself it was 600 max...

DON'T GO WITH MY BUILD!!

Man, you want so much for so little. Check these budget builds here, they seem really great:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2212092/bestconfigs-poll-budget-intel-based-gaming.html

Not sure what games you wanna play, but these will do fine. Personally, I like Intel processors and nvidia GPUs but they can be very expensive.
