Anyone have a good idea for a 700-800$ gaming PC I can go a little over in the price, I would like to be able to run games like Dayz (standalone), Shadows of Mordor and Battlefield 4 on medium to high graphics. I do not need any peripherals. Open to any suggestions Thanks!

Try this ... if you want a SSD, you can either add a small one now for $60-$100, or save a bit for a 256GB and you may not even need a hard drive then/. In any case, I'd wait for now and see if you need it.

I need the OS, i already have a monitor, and intel is preferred and Nvidia or AMD does not really matter to me.

Large capacity or speed. Example SSD or HDD or a happy middle like a hybrid? Take note some of the games you mentioned would benefit greatly from an SSD. Trying to do this with an OS is rough! [strike]http://pcpartpicker.com/user/thekasafist/saved/4s2j4D[/strike]
I did a google search you can find Win7 Pro for a very reasonable amount I would recommend that route for the OS! https://www.google.com/search?q=Windows+7+pro&safe=active&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ei=_4dbVKScGa_fsASu_4GADw&ved=0CAgQ_AU

OMG I am so stupid!!!!! I forgot to remove a filter I had on! :|

Check this build much better than before! http://pcpartpicker.com/user/thekasafist/saved/4s2j4D
I still recommend googling the OS like the link above buddy it might get you under $800 or as close to that as possible. I hope I helped?! :D

I chose an SSD because of some of the game types the user plans to play. OP hasn't responded yet as to whether the user would prefer an HDD or SSD. I would pick the HDD if the user needed better price/GB ratio making your build the better option for price of course. This makes the price gap for that R9 280.

If you can live without the SSD then I totally recommend capt_taco's recommened build. Snatch the storage capacity upfront. When the time comes you can get an SSD and voila LOL!
