I just sold my MacBook Pro so I have around $700 and I'm looking to build a gaming pc! I need help finding good parts that can run rust at around 50 fps!

Rust is a fairly un-optimized game at the moment. Even some top tier gaming machines have trouble running this at ultra. The developers are currently working on game optimization, which will be implemented (apparently) in the next 2-3 updates. With your budget you would be able to afford a fairly low end gaming machine, it will most likely be able to run the optimized version of rust on low and just be able to cope. In the state that rust is at the moment, it wouldn't be able to handle rust even on the lowest settings at ~60 fps

Edit: Regardless, the new rig would be able to run rust better than the macbook. If you would like more help with components feel free to PM me.

I know people with $500 pc with a $200 video card and gets a smooth 45 on rust. Also with Garry working on optimization a $700 pc would do just fine

the h97 chipset is a one graphics card and non overclock board.

add a mechanical drive later on

upgrade 8.1 to 10 in a couple of months while its free.

It is all really about personal preference. personally i cannot run anything below 60fps, and you will be surprised about how hard rust is to run at the moment, especially with the memory leak problems. Yes it is possible to run rust with a $700 build, but will it be enjoyable? most probably not. When getting into gun fights, you may drop down to anywhere between 2 - 10 fps.
 
Here, this should play Rust better than the following: Rust: Settings: Fantastic Avg:64 Min:0 (being dead) Max:107 (with an i3-4130, gtx 750ti and only 4 gigs of ram) It will also play most other games very well if your standards for rust are just 50 fps.

I'd care more about that too if you can find proof that dual channel actually gives a real performance boost and not a theoretical one.

Admirable
Aside from the performance difference, there's also the simple fact that it's more reliable. If 1 stick of ram fails in a 2x4GB kit, then you're simply running on 4GB of RAM until you can work something out with the manufacturer/seller or get a replacement. If a 1x8GB stick fails, then you're stuck with no RAM until you get a replacement. If the computer that ram is in is your main computer for something like school or work, that's a serious problem.
