Alright guys, so I want to say thank you in advance. Anyways, I am looking to buy a PC or build a PC. The games I will be playing are Black Ops 2, Minecraft, and CS:GO. I would like to have a few choices for a build and a buy meaning that if you guys could show me prebuilt computers AND non-built computers. I WOULD REALLY RECCOMEND A PREBUILT PC.

I atleast want 70 fps on max settings on Minecraft.
Atleast 60 fps on max for bo2 and CS:go.

I would like you guy to stay under my budget of $700 because I'm pretty solid at that price, also I need a monitor (1080p) for gaming. I don't need a mouse or keyboard.

For the prebuilt computers I would like an IBUYPOWER, CYBERTRONPC, OR CYBERPOWERPC.

For the build I would like an Intel processor (atleast i5) and maybe if you guys could find a octa-core processor that would be great. Also for the OS I would like Windows 8. :D

Thanks for your help (again) :)
-Matthew

Just saying, a pre-built PC with the same parts is going to cost much more. As for the "Octa-Core" it will perform worse in gaming than the i5. Honestly if we were just going for a minecraft build we could go much cheaper GPU wise. You will feel much better building a PC than being ripped off for a pre-built PC with lower quality parts.

Going with this GPU would bring you closer to your $700 mark, but for much less performance.

The power supply Xemko posted would be better as it is a Tier 2 PSU.

This is a list consisting of what they were selling in they're PC. These parts are not only worse, but they're charging more money for lower performance. I would not recommend they're build, nor would I spend my money for it. Trust me, building your own PC is much more rewarding, as well as efficient.

I can't help you with that, as I don't live in NC nor do I know anyone who builds custom PC's. Honestly build yourself, you'll thank yourself in the long run.
